I just found out that I am being sent out of the country for a week. I<br>am being issued a company laptop, and will have a lot of free time. I<br>want to spend it doing something productive. (No, I will not be watching
<br>any porn.)<br><br>So, I would like to burn a few DVDs and have everything that I could<br>possibly need to setup a Linux distro and play with a bunch of tools for<br>learning purposes. I'm leaning towards Debian since I use KnoppMyth,
<br>but I'm open to others. I would like to have everything I could<br>possibly want to apt-get on a DVD.<br><br>Right now I hate my gdm/fluxbox eperience. I want to use a more full<br>featured env like KDE, but I really don't know the different tiers and
<br>what part of the experience they control. I want to learn this.<br><br>I also have full access to the O'Reilly library via SafariBooksOnline.<br>So I can get any readying material also.<br><br>Given this scenario, what would you do? (keep in mind that I need to
<br>start downloading NOW!)<br><br>--<br>Thank you for your time,<br>--==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==--<br><br>Before posting to a mailing list I check the following locations:<br> <a href="http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/">
