There is a nice, mainly command line oriented (but it has X) Linux
CD image you can download www.grml.org (it is running my system).
And that one you can also install to hard disk.

I use this because the rest seems to get or pick up bloat.

I hate the bloat that comes with most distribution. But I went with
Ubuntu at the moment because I need something that I can eventually
use as both a normal laptop/desktop OS (for other people in the family
as well!) and small server.

Since Ubuntu is based off Debian which is supposed to be good for
server environment, I picked it to reduce any additional confusion I
might get from trying to learn two different OS at the same time.

Only had it for a day or two, still trying to figure out why/how
Firefox 1.5 wouldn't work on it. That's the main problem with Linux I
guess, you can't just download the latest app and expect it to run
just like Windows versions.

I've grown weary of Firefox and all its bugs, glitches and memory bloat

Same here, particularly printing. Most annoying.

- I have Firefox 1.5.0.3 at the office and Seamonkey at home. I'm staying with
Seamonkey.

Seamonkey? Seamonkey?!!! I've heard opera is goodness too.

Yeah, the name Mozilla was not allowed for the Mozilla suite after Firefox
went live and Mozilla incorporated (or something like that:-)) so they
adopted the name the project had during development: Seamonkey... so it's
basically the further development on the old Mozilla suite. IOW a Netscape
Navigator/E-mail that works.

Thanks. It seems markedly faster. There are a few things I miss
(icons on the toolbar, for one). Exporting my bookmarks from
Firefox into Seamonkey was simple enough. I'll have to put it on
my other systems.

I tried Opera once - I guess I missed the religious experience it was
supposed to bring.:-)
