Any OS that can load nothing but a browser?
just another answerless person asked:
Hi, I want some kind of Operating System like DOS (preferably non-graphical) that can load a browser like Firefox (including graphics). I don’t need any other program installed. The reason I want this is because I want to be able to turn on my computer and just check my mail without having a long list of unnecessary programs starting in the background.
Some people I asked suggested I try one of the Linux Distros; well, I’ve already tried a lot of them (Xubuntu, DSL, VectorLinux, etc) and they load even slower than my Windows XP.
Bear in mind that I only want this as an additional OS to be installed in another partition of my hard drive. By the way, I have a Pentium 4 with 512 ram and a 30gb disk.
Well, I hope you can help me out. Thanks

Slackware
Ubuntu
Gentoo
Sabayon
Mandriva
Puppy
Damn Small
Linux Mint
gOS
Knoppix
Kubuntu
Xubuntu

And probably more, I’ll add them when I think of them
Oh and Debian

I really like the Slackware-based distros and prefer XFCE and KDE over Gnome

What would be the benefits of widespread market adoption of Ubuntu?
j240na9u0jg asked:
Ubuntu is a free and open source Linux distribution. It has been awarded as being the most user friendly Linux distribution, and it arguably has the most functionality and beauty of all desktop Linux distros. What would be the economic and social benefits to the individual and society? Would there be any disadvantages to its adoption?
