    Hmm, no links. So... how is this different from any other Debian distro with Xfce (not trolling, genuinely curious)?

    Hi lucho,

    PureOS is based on Debian testing branch, you can use it as a liveCD or as a liveUSB (with or without persitant changes) or install it on your hard-disk.

    It's built with the linux-live script from Tomas Matejicek (Slax), some scripts allow you to create modules so you can use modules (data, changes or software) to customize/add software to the liveCD.

    In a few words: Slax is great but it's based on Slackware and we prefer Debian.

    Just try it.

    a CD RW is just enough.

    I tried the English torrent download from Europe as right now it is the only available mirror for the xfce version. No seeders available though.

    Also Bit Tornado threw up a bunch of errors giving corrupt file warning.
    So I switched over to Bit Torrent Client. No errors but no seeders.

    LOL , ( Just a observation, not a complaint, ok) Maybe it is because it is the weekend. But the http link works about as good as the torrent download.

    I checked this link and there's no problem...

    The file was quickly downloaded and the MD5 sum is OK.
