Andy, Harv's CD is a "Live" Linux OS a few things can be saved such as bookmarks and "home" files. Not sure you can add other applications. To be sure send a quick email to Harv, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think Harv also reads this group, maybe he will answer.
Otherwise Simply Mepis (based on Debian) is easy to use, configures your hardware easy. You can add applications by using the "Synaptic" interface or compile from "tar ball" files in a Terminal session. Download and then burn from iso using your CD burning software. Once the CD loaded there is an icon on the desktop to install to your HDD permently. Be careful on setting up partitions so you don't wipe out your Windows partition. You need about 5 Gigs hard drive space for Mepis. Simply Mepis: http://www.mepis.org/node/1462 is the download page, select a site and save iso file.
