 | | We chose to test Knoppix, MandrakeMove, and Slax based on their hardware detection, applications, aesthetics, usability, and the ability to allow a non-technical person to operate without the need to tweak settings. |

 | | Slax blazed through the boot process: 58 seconds to get to the console prompt; 1:05 total to Fluxbox, a minimalistic desktop based on Blackbox; and 1:38 total to KDE. |
