ubuntu? Use a different distro, maybe DSL will fit the bill better?
Failing that I'd recommend doing a minimal debian install (skip
software installation stage (dselect) during install process), and then
install only the components you need. Building up is a lot easier than
stripping down.</blockquote>

This is an excellent point. DSL, MicroLinux, and probably a couple
others are designed to run off a thumb drive. You certainly don't need
Gnome or KDE, and all the million apps that would come with either one,
so start as small as you can. I would guess that Ubuntu is probably
one of the larger distros.<br>

Well to counter that, the idea is to give people what they are most
comfortable already looking at, with Andromeda installed and ready to
go.<br>
