Operating Systems
You may choose any operating system
distribution from the following list. ("Size" is the size
of the distribution on disk.)
Don't hesitate to ask us to add a new
distribution to it. We will probably be able to accomodate most
reasonable requests. And if you don't ask for what you want, we won't know
there's a demand for it.
