Being a newbie on Linux also, I have been tring the same, looking for a small 210mb CD size system based on knoppix that is stripped to have networking support for the internet, mailer is not important since I use web based email, maybe some apps, mplayer, Open Office, docs on linux. but for the browser it needs to support java and flash. This all on a 210mb CD. Most I have downloaded and burned on CDRW are for rescue type CDs.

If anyone would make a CD like this they would have alot of people interested in it.

Shoot, I would even host the site for them, or at least mirror the ISO files!
