I'm surprised no one is mentioning Knoppix. It's meant to be a
CD-ROM-based distro, but it does have a handy little script on it that
make copying the contents of the CD over to a HDD a snap. I installed
Knoppix on a "new" Celeron 700 system a few weeks back, and it was by
far the easiest install I've ever done (even easier than that "other"
OS). Everything was auto-detected by the boot scripts. No problemo. Of
course, it *is* based on Debian, and that seems to give some PLUG
members absolute fits. <que foreboding music here>
