There probably isn't a linux distro faster than DOS. How much RAM and how big a Hard Drive do you have?

give DSL a closer look: "Damn Small Linux is a business card size (50MB) Live CD Linux distribution. Despite its minuscule size it strives to have a functional and easy to use desktop. Damn Small Linux has a nearly complete desktop, including XMMS (MP3, and MPEG), FTP client, links-hacked web browser, spreadsheet, email, spellcheck (US English), a word-processor, three editors (Nedit, nVi, Zile [emacs clone]), Xpdf, Worker (file manager), Naim (AIM, ICQ, IRC), VNCviwer, SSH/SCP server and client, DHCP client, PPP, PPPoE, a web server, calculator, Fluxbox window manager, system monitoring apps, USB support, and soon it will have PCMCIA support as well. If you like Damn Small Linux you can install it on your hard drive. Because all the applications are small and light it makes a very good choice for older hardware." - Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram - Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!) http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.' icq 10183575
