Re: [school-discuss] EDU-Nix Dual Mode CD 2 / Distribution Solutions

[lee rodgers <sregdoreel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Wonderful work...

I've been doing a comparison of edubuntu & edu-nix, & I'm partial to edu-nix -- it's quite a bit faster booted from CD-ROM (I remember playing w/ Slax & Stux last year & came away with a very favorable impression...). I'm also very partial to Vector SOHO not only for speed but b/c it plays nice w/ putting LILO on the partition instead of the MBR. I prefer to use GAG to boot-manage, not Grub or LILO, whose configuration vagueries can prove very annoying. (FWIW, all the aforementioned are Slackware variants as is Edu-nix (or is that EdUnix?). I've never tried Slackware, proper, but so far love it's progeny....

As for Debian variants.... I'm trying out Freespire, Studio-To-Go & Mandriva this week....
