The Dink Network

Does anyone know of any good sites to download one or two disc versions of Linux from?

Ubuntu (probably also its relative Kubuntu) and MEPIS are both one-disk distros. Debian (on which both Ubuntu and MEPIS are based) has a one-disk internet installer, which installs the basics from disc and gets the rest from the internet. This might take a while, though.

Ubuntu has a separate LiveCD, while the MEPIS install CD can also be used as LiveCD. The rest is personal preference. I myself only got the Ubuntu LiveCD to fully work. The Debian internet installer didn't find the wireless network, so it left me with nothing but a prompt (I tried to get the packages from another CD myself, but failed). MEPIS found the network (both the liveCD and the installed version), but didn't connect to the internet. Keep in mind that this might also be my incompetence.

Ubuntu and Debian won't work on my pc (I got them off PC magazine DVDs). However, I haven't tried MEPIS. With it being Devian based I'd imagine it fits a large number of packages on it's disks since Debian has the better compression than the usual Red Hat package compressor, whatever the proper names and terms are (I can't remember them right now).

Oh, and thanks.

Of course the only reason I want small Linuxes is because I only have a pathetic cap of 5GB. Mind you the recent news in terms of NZ broadband should change things for the better.
