I was able to fashion a Celeron 500MHz computer with 512 MB Ram and a 40GB HD. I was able to install Windows 98 on it (so I can use my TV Wonder device for capture) and try out Xandros Desktop (Open Circulation Distribution) for usage on my machine. I like it so far, but my only beef with it is that if I want to be able to update software as easily as Gentoo I'd need to have internet access, which is what I will not have. So I will be stuck with creating stuff from source, or switching back to Gentoo or Slackware. I installed checkinstall, so when I compile stuff from source now I just create Debian packages for it for later. I really like the interface it has on it, so I may keep Xandros around a while. I will still keep Gentoo and Slackware around.

At one point I was trying to get a Live CD together with all the games I was able to put on it. I was using Gentoo's catalyst to put it together, and I was able to get to livecd-stage1 before I put that project aside. I found a LiveCD distro, SLAX, that will allow you to compile modules that you can add into the LiveCD on the fly. I plan to compile ZSNES, Snes9x, XMAME, and WINE so I can bring all my games with me on the road as I pleas. I think that'd be neat.
