[asmithz]

Nope dont have broadband still waiting for my street to get serviced by a certain company.

I might get redhat. Depends on if i can find someting smaller. I have winlinux 2001 do you think its any good?

Downloaded Knoppix 3.2 and Winlinux2003.
Looks great but don't use them cause can't get my USB ADSL modem to work and must confess I'm a Linux Newbee.

Today is your lucky day. I have just the distro for you.

50 megabytes of penguin power. A fully functional distrobution of linux with a gui and all. Check it out. Its called "Damn Small Linux" and it works. Its not the distro I use but Ive tried it before. Since you have a bandwitdh problem (dial up) then this might work well for you. Shouldnt take you too long to download 50 megs.
