I am currnently downloading slackware 9.1 as it giving me a chance to test the download manager with mozilla and 98. My next purchase may be a dvd writer, in the meantime what rescue distro do users favour, i have a copy of the latest issue of linux user and developer which has a review of some. So i may try and download a few, but would like to perhaps have a few ideas first. .
My FSF membership card is also a LNX-BBC disc. It seems to support all the popular file systems (which is one of the main problems I have when trying to rescue a system using JFS and/or XFS) and has saved my computer more than once! Quick and easy to boot. I also have a major hardware strangeness on my laptop which stops all distros (except for Mandrake) from booting and also affects most rescue discs, but not LNX-BBC! It even comes with BitTorrent clients!!! -- David Johnson http://www.david-web.co.uk/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
