Hi Jeff, sorry I wanted to post this on sage-devel originally and removed it, but then had no time to repost at sage devel (had to get membership first). Also sorry about any inconvenience with this download server. H. Schilly contacted me and maybe it will be available on the sage mirror soon.
I append the original post, but I think this thread should be in sage- devel. I could need someone willing to try/test it and give feedback. regards emil ORIGINAL POST: Hello, I created a Live CD (or USB install) for Sage based on the small Puppy Linux distribution. Compared to the ubuntu based sage42lwlcd.iso there are more applications, Sage Doc and Tutorial. Also there is more "bling" i.e. nicer desktop appearance.

I tested it on 1 GB, 1.6Ghz and it is quite responsive and workflow seems to be ok. I am no professional in the field and this is just a labor of love, but I think for some this alternative might be useful. It would be great if anybody could test it. A quick and easy method i.e is UNetbootin (no CD required). thanks in advance emil PS: I posted also on the PLinux Forum (screenshot there) http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=52582 and in the sage-edu list.
