t runs from CD, autodetects all your hardware, and can easily be installed to hard disk. It's also Debian based, so when you want to upgrade it just type 'apt-get update;apt-get upgrade' et voila! you have the latest version of everything you already have installed.
this also applies to JAMD linux , which I *replaced* my morphix with, havent regretted it. (JAMD is not debian based)
JAMD was actually able to install to my UDMA hard-disk (/dev/hde)
Can't get much easier than that. Use Synaptic for a gui version of apt-get,with an easy to use search facility for new software to install.
......that also applies for JAMD linux
JAMD is RPM-based , but *I* still use (./configure make install) build from source baabieeeee
JAMD = distro designed for the nieghbor to installl
