I would like linux operating system (bootable and installable) that is a very small download. I have direcway but the download keeps stopping prematurely. I would just like to see what its all about and decide if i want to buy the cd's. Everyone says peanut is small, one website even said only 60mb. I cant find it but if you could it would be a great help.

Ubuntu is great, but it's about 700 MB if I remember correctly. And then after you install it, it has to download all the stuff that isn't on the CD, like various useful programs you might want. It's great though. I didn't download it, I bought it from a site that sells CDs for people with impaired connections. I would recommend them to you, but one of the CDs I ordered came defective (I could have sent it back for a replacement, but I didn't feel like taking the trouble). This site sells CDs, and it looks fairly reasonable: http://shop.cheapbytes.com/cgi-bin/cart/index.html
You can get the Ubuntu organization to send you a CD for free, but it might take a while (I never tried it, but anything free like that usually takes a while to get). Just make sure you get the right version for your computer, i.e., do not get x86_64 unless you have a 64-bit processor. Good luck!

I concur, Ubuntu is good and very user-friendly. If you visit their website, you can get them to mail you the install/bootable CD for free. You can also find it in this month's issue of Linux magazine, if you visit a bookstore ($4).

I don't know the answer to your question, but you may want to check out Ubuntu. They will mail you a free CD with Linux on it.
