   Nope.  I know there is one linux out that has a lot of extras strip off, and   
   a ton of device drivers already install.  It's on a CD and is first and   
   formost considered a recovery tools that also let's you do a quick install on   
   Linux on about every machine out there, but I am sure it was Mandrake.  It   
   had a shorter and wierder name.   
      
   I find it easyier just to stay with BeOS,  I don't find it needs the   
   servicing that my Windows friends need all the time.
