Good question - it's a 2.2.13 kernel, but I don't see a USB module. Can USB
support be modular ? I've never wanted USB support as the only USB device in
the house is a Wingman force feedback joystick, and I don't need that much
with Linux. (Besides, the kids won't let me have it :-( )

Yes, it has vim, but I've no idea whether or not it has syntax highlighting
and no intention of sullying my fingers by running it to find out (not that
I'd know how). Unfortunately, there's no xemacs (CD probably isn't big
enough even without Linux !) but emacs is a link to joe, which has the
endearing habit of saving your changes when you quit, without asking if that
was what you want. I feel another modification to the ILUG version coming on.
