Has anyone had any experience with the Arc Linux distribution? The reason I am interested is that I have been doing some volunteer work with a YMCA directed at children. There was a news release, a while back, saying they are working on a special children's distribution. I went to there site at http://www.arklinux.org/ and downloaded their installation package on my Windows box. Darn - I'm stuck with this thing till I build enough courage to load Linux on it. I ended up with a file called arklinux.iso that I intended to burn it on a 650 MB CD-ROM. The problem is, the file is 707.648 MB. They will ship me a CD-ROM via snailmail for 10 EURO (Must be some European's but they have a US address I think.) It appears that they may be in the Beta stage. I decided to see if anyone knows more about them than I have been able to find before I spend money and end up with a pig in a poke and a lot of frustration.
