	Hi Maestro,
		Pushing PCLinux OS which had enjoyed a decent review
	as a rolling release on Distrowatch.
	
	If you want a downloaded iso file burned on a disk,
  let me know.

	Bobbie

Hey bobbie,
Will you PLEASE forward this to the current list you have?...
I appreciate you...
Thanks...

Hail info holders...
I have an older 686(32bit) Toshi laptop with need of a distro...
I am guilty of being out of the loop with the CURRENT best distros in
this architecture...
I want stable, rolling release, fast, clean, & installed on the
internal hard drive...
On boot via main power button it gives:
"Invalid partition table" when attempting to boot certain distros,
others boot through to recognize & print iso version on one line only.
I booted a distro someone gave me called Haran's (Heren's) which
booted up fine & has a mini-distro of RIP Linux...
It loaded files remotely, offered to search & setup network,
recognizes wifi networks, lists directories in the terminal, offered
to setup partitions, & recognised partitions with fdisk...
This is encouraging...
Now I'd appreciate your sounding off to a nice, fast, clean, rolling
release distro besides debian (or lighter crunch bang) which I LOVE to
install on this box...
Thanks in advance...


Message ends.
