Hello, Some of U has tried www.knoppix.org which is a LIVE-CD distro based on debian. You can choose lang, wm, at boot time. There is about 2Go of applications on only 1 CD. The packages are uncompressed "in live".
It's very interesting to verify if a computer is Linux compatible. Just
Boot on the CD and look the eyes of the (windows) sailor when you can
- connect to the network especially if there is a DHCP
- access the windows partitions with only a click on the desktop
icons
- run the last e17 installed on your USB key !!!
- use open office
- try the usb or iEEE connection with your camera
- print if there is printer connected
- and many other things that a full system can run.
all this without anything installed on the disk !
And the sailor prays for you to forget the CD !:-D !
Actually, e isn't in the wm list you can choose at boot time but knoppix
is, in fact, a debian sarge and gives tools to create/add/remove the
(un)needed debian packages.
After booting and validating, you can install knoppix (debian
apt-get/cache ...) on your computer.
Any computer (of friend, parents, company) can be transformed in a full
linux system configured for your needs anytime ! powerful no ?!
