[TriLUG] lightweight linux distro/pc giveaway

[jason at monsterjam.org]

actually I downloaded the newest beta based on the Fiesty fawn and it looks pretty cool. 
It runs as a live cd as well.. It picked up my cisco wireless card just fine. Didnt do 
hardware accelerated X, but it looks pretty well integrated with XFCE. I might end up using 
it on the wifes computer.
