I need to download a Linux Live CD distribution. I don't intend to install it on the hard disk but use it from the Optical drive only or if possible install on a 1 GB Pen drive. My Current Installation of PCLinux OS in external HD is old.
Requirements are..
1) Should be bootable on most of the hardware configuration
2) Customization isn't required, I can use it on default settings too, since it is based on Optical Media, it means I will be using it somewhere like friend's computer only for 10 or 20 minutes.
3) NTFS read & Write support is a must.
There are 3 contenders...Knoppix, Slax & PCLinuxOS MiniMe 2008. With PC Linux OS I will get a full Linux distribution but will it be fast enough & what will be the system requirements???
What I need in the Linux distribution
1) Pidgin, customised according to me
2) Firefox customised according to me
3) An archive utility
4) Notepad
5) Ability to play multimedia content, even a simple media player will do...I m not looking for WMP replacement
6) If possible, something to open Word files
7) PDF reader
8 ) A CD burner
9) Photo Viewer
10) Password manager.
