   Hey Nicholas!   
      
    NB> At this point I'm going for ease of use until I can create my own   
    NB> Linux.   
      
   Understood.  Back when I started it was Slackware.  I still have the first 4   
   CD boxed set from Walnut Creek that became the basis for the first custom   
   build on an Acer laptop (Pentium MMX - 150MHz) and then later on a 486 Toshiba   
   laptop, both of which nobody could get to work and thus were abandoned back in   
   ~1996-ish.  Once I got them working the respective owners wanted them back.    
   Go figure eh?  After that it was zip disk installs and then pcmcia flash disks   
   that caught my attention and definetly required custom root/boots.  Same with   
   usb flash disks later on that I customized a ttylinux that I called "Flash   
   ttylinux of the 21st Century".  That would have been ~2001.  After that pure   
   64-bit systems grabbed my attention which brings me up to today.   
      
    NB> One nobody else has.   
      
   Right.  Been there, done that.  ;-)
