Knoppix 4.0 is due to be released. I checked yesterday and it was not on the mirrors in the US yet. We could also do some damnsmalllinux and Mepis disks. I have at least 2 PCs that can burn at home. Tell me your pleasure.

How does anyone feel about some of the up-and-comers, like BeatrIX (www.watsky.net), or Puppy (www.puppylinux.org)? Ubuntu Lite is a project I've been watching (and posting to the Google Group some) and they seem to be starting something nice for low-end machines, but they certainly aren't at a point of handing it out randomly yet.
Bea and Puppy do nice LiveCDs, and have support for HD installs. Bea is known to support WINE/Crossover Office for that Winders hankering... And both are designed for mini or credit card CDs. I think the "cute" factor can entice some people as freebies to try out. Bea has Beatrix the cat as the mascot, and Puppy has Puppy the chihuahua as the mascot.
