OK, I’m fairly smart. I’m also lazy. I only know Windows and want to switch to running Linux (maybe). I’ve decided that a good way to start is by using/trying a live cd version of Linux before committing fully, but which? It should be able to run windows based programs and connect to the ‘net via wireless USB network adapter. I’ve seen a few versions that are ultra small/compact. I think that I would want just the opposite. I want maximum functionality and options. These add-ons/plugins should come pre-installed and be pre-configured and work flawlessly. I don’t want much, do I !!! Anywayz,….does such a version exist? So far, it looks like it’s SLAX Kill Bill Edition 5.1.8.1.
Given enough time, I’ll probably figure it out myself. Just hoping I someone could jump start education in Linux.
THANKS.

First of all, I have written permission from my neighbor whom I’ve known for many years to try this for educational purposes. This adapter uses the Ralink RT2870 chipset. I am using a Kubuntu Live CD to dual boot between Windows XP and Kubuntu because I know this adapter cannot crack a WEP key using Windows XP(to my knowledge). However I can’t even get the driver for the adapter installed let alone get anything cracked. I have done some extensive googleing on the topic but have not had much luck. I am willing to try other Linux distros. Can anyone help me out? It would be greatly appreciated.
