just tried this out
I just got my copy of dynebolic linux -- bootable from a CD, and I must say that even though Linux is a good OS, several things need to be fixed (especially in my distribution), and I fail to see all the hype some times.
2 big areas: video card was not detected (GF4 Ti 4400) and sound card wasnt either (SB Audigy)
Other issues, but I think I'll stick with this CD as a hacker tool
Now if I could only access my C: drive from this thing....

Re: just tried this out
I agree that there is too much hype for 'home' use, but there's a couple of distros that work ok for the workplace. I've currently got a couple of my corp Users running on Xandros and they're able to do 'work'  but it's definatley not ready for the average gamer. |

Re: just tried this out
I just wanted a full OS that I could boot from a CD -- a useful feature, and booting from a 3.5 diskette is, well, limiting. I mean, just how much OS can you fit in 1.44 mb? I mean, yeah you can, but still

Re: just tried this out
They are, but not in the way I wanted (or am I wrong?) Dont they just run the installer program? I dont want that, I want a full OS not the install program
