I ran across something kind of interesting, a bootable CD based on RH
7.3 (2.4.18 xfs). It's called Cool-Linux.

It appears to have begun life as a rescue cd, then someone went a little
crazy. I can't find any documentation on it, but I believe it may have
originated in Eastern Europe or Russia, uname -a brings up some funny
characters.

It boots and runs from a CD altho it appears it will also make use of
64MB of a hard disk , I'm guessing a swap file.

It has X (uses IceWM), Open Office 1.0, Abiword, Xedit, Vim, and Acrobat
Reader, Opera, Mozilla, LinNeiborhood, Syphleed, ... (the list goes on).

It had no problem detecting my video, networking, sound, scsi, etc.
