windows and OpenOffice are so slow.)

Slackware or Debian CD's (I don't have a burner) to use for a while.
both would be cool so I could see and feel how they function.

<Software>
I have lots of hard disk space (5 gig) so size is not really an
issue.

GLIPC 2.2.X or better (*_so I can run OpenOffice_*)
Fast web browser
eMail
Apache (latest stable)

Beer
</liquidware>
I'm going to be at the beer meeting (some how) but not for long. So I
could pickup the CD's at the meeting. I can afford maybe 1 beer as I
don't have a "job" right now.

I will have some old laptops soon, (Toshiba, compaq, etc...) they will
not have hard disk drives in them. They will be sold cheep because they
don't have hard disk drives in them. They will be checked to be sure
they function at a basic level. Did I say they will not have hard disks.
