that doesn't make sense !
Edgy 6.10 (the latest) is not much bigger and arguably faster to boot and
run. It's not like there has been a lot of bloat since. That said, I'm still
recommending 6.06.01 to newbies as it's more stable and more like ly to Just

You can pick up a (fresh burned and verified) copy ($6+tax) at linuxcaffe,
if you like.
