[TriLUG] Looking for a small Linux

[Jason Evans]

I'm downloading the "alternate" cd for Xubuntu to see how that works.
This machine works terribly with LiveCD's.  I always seem to get read
errors from them.  That probably means that the CD Drive isn't working
correctly.  We'll see how that goes.  Oh, and I've run Xubuntu Gutsy
on an emulator before and it worked fine.  Most stuff like wifi and
printer management are working with GUI's now, though I haven't really
tried it in the real world.
