[mdlug] Lightweight desktop distribution recommendation

[Michael ORourke]

Good suggestions... thanks to everyone that replied.

I don't want the hassle of roll-your-own distribution, or something I need 
to compile on the box.  Just something I can install easily and that just 
"works".  The hardware is a 900MHz Celeron mini-desktop with 512MB and a 
20GB hard drive.
So far, I'm pretty happy with Puppy Linux installed to the hard drive. 
Which looks like this is going to be a good solution.

Thanks,
Mike
