However, having downloaded it and got my machine booting I've immediately hit problems. The OS isn't even recognizing my network card - who knows how it'll get on with connecting wireless once it does.
SlimCD indeed isn't quite up to date when it comes to driver support. Its base is still some rather old 2.4 kernel. But as I don't have the knowledge to create such a CD from scratch I depend on others doing the hard work - damnsmalllinux.org (DSL) in this case. There is a project working on a 2.6 based similar distro as DSL (dsl-n), but it seems to have died only a few weeks after its first apparition :-(.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
I wouldn't search too far a lot of scary information. Download one of the user friendly distros (Ubuntu as a desktop, ClarkConnect on the server) and give it a try. Ubuntu is even available as a live CD. If you don't have a spare computer, use the free VMware player to run it in a virtual machine.
