X terminal distributions?

[Leo Mauler]

I just wanted to mention that a lot of older CDROM
drives don't like miniCDs and business card sized CDs
(or at least don't seem to boot from them).  So even
though DamnSmallLinux does fit on a miniCD, go ahead
and burn it on a full-sized CD for those older laptops
that still have CDs.
