Adioside-8.0q-86

This live Cd is the only one where I found MySQL Admin and MySQL query in its utilities and many web applications one which looked like (I did not go deep) a visual basic variant (not Gambase).

These three additions make me to recommend it for a newbies to download and use it live.
Unfortunately one cannot install it to hard disk. Had it being I would have done more deeper digging to it's heart.

When the next version comes I hope they read my comments and use it for special application for using MySQL with graphic applications.

I am nearing nervous nineties and I have to download few more and test them to finish my target.

LessLinux-85

A new breed of new but tiny distribution that come Germany is a good one for the newbies.
It took little time for me to get round it but it is a good rescue CD with many utilities.

TeenPupMini-84

This is one of the best among variety of Puppy pedigree.

It has eye candy graphic features which is excellent for oldie like me with poor night vision.
May not work with very old computers but who keeps old computers now that the second hand value of the P IV is very cheap.

In fact I bought a second hand one for testing Linux with Sata and IDE hard drives and 512 RAM (minimum for D.D.R II )for Rs. 15,000 and when my old computers are not working or IDE hard disks are not available (soon inevitable) I can use it as my back up machine.

I may have to spent a dew bucks for the DDR2 RAM and the Express Graphic Cards.
One of the web Linux friend tells me that the 64 bit machine gives only 4% acceleration and the most up time through put one gets is only 6% (I stand to correction on these figures but I believe him).

Who needs a dual core?
They are really not fast but they consume lot of electricity (electricity bill will be up) and lot of fans to cool them unless they have a way of tropicalizing them to suit warm countries like ours.

Sorry for diversions but Puppy Linux of any variety will stand tall among tiny Linux distributions.

grmi-83

This live distribution packed with all the pure Linux Utilities is only in test mode and is the handy work for Linux administers when troubled with administrative tasks.

One can log into a distant server and start doing the repair work.

Even a newbie cab use it to learn learn command line activities.

All the help is there with and everything one need to go is explained.
If one is graphic cravy this is not for you.
