For who want to start with linux, there is a good solution with the distros 
that runs entirely in one CD only .
I was impressed with the versatility of then. They detect all my hardware 
in the boot, and I was surfing in the net after 2 minutes, no configuration 
necessary. Just burn the iso in a CD and boot from the CD ROM.

The Knoppix - www.knoppix.org  - based in a debian distro - 700MB
And Kurumin - 
<http://www.linorg.usp.br/ISO/debian/kurumim/kurumin-2.0.iso>http://www.linorg.usp.br/ISO/debian/kurumim/kurumin-2.0.iso
- in portuguese, based on the knoppix version, but only 200MB

You can also install them in the hd.

May be Robert could talk with Klaus (from Knoppix) and ask to him to 
include Euphoria in the next version of Knoppix. :>)
