    OK, here is what I am looking for, a familiar interface on the go, here is what I want...


    1. Fire Fox 2.x.x.x
    2. Text Editor
    3. FAST bootup
    4. A game (To kill time)
    5. Media player .wav .mp3 (Not really needed)
    6. Access to the computers HD, CD, floppy and drivers for a usb stick to save files if needed.



    Anything like that ready to go, directly to cd?


    Thanks for any help!

    Ubuntu and probably any other 700meg iso distro

    Linux Puppy.

    or

    ?


    And I already have Xubuntu and Ubuntu downloaded, so I guess I can give it a try, but I don't really think they boot up fast enough, (Or it could be my slow computer)

    UBUNTU.

    http://www.ubuntu.com/

    in many peoples opinion is the best distro. (including me)

    very easy install also.

    A CD is slow by definition. You could try a live DVD if you have the drive for it, or something that boots from a USB drive.

    My 1gb USB drive is on the slow-side, I can run a live cd of UBUNTU decently on my 400mhz, 192mb ram. But On a ~3ghz, 512ram usb drive, DSL was painfully slow.

    I dont have a cd burner, and I want a cd because more systems, new and old can boot from it, a usb drive requires a floppy for most computers...



    I tried Puppy Linux, and it defaults SeaMonkey suite, not FireFox, If sompne could tell me how to install the FireFox application on to a cd (A new cd), that would be perfect!
