Hello all.
I'm Everett, I just joined the list a few days ago. I don't have much
linux experience; I installed Yellow Dog on my iMac a couple of years
ago, and it was really cool, but I ended up wiping it to make room on
the hard drive.
My roommate has a PC, and is allowing me to play with live CD
distributions, as long as I don't touch his hard drive.
The past couple of days I've been playing with a distribution called
Puppy Linux. It is a multi-session live CD that let's you save data
back to the CD. You can read about it here:

It is very easy to use, and very small, and requires no hard drive,
just a pc with a cd writer and 256MB ram. I'm carrying a mini-CDR of
it with me to try on anyone's PC who will let me.
When I get a newer mac (probably after Tiger is released), I would like
to do a multi-boot install with OSX and linux. In the meantime, does
anyone know of any live CD's that will boot a mac?
I hope to make it to some meetings eventually, but right now my work
schedule won't allow it.
ttyl,
Everett
