Knoppix 3.9 Released 486
GuyRiley writes "The Debian-based live-cd Linux distribution Knoppix
has been updated to version 3.9.
Among the most notable changes are the update to kernel 2.6.11 and the inclusion
of OpenOffice 2.0 BETA and KDE 3.4. This is likely the last single-CD version
of Knoppix before the split
into 'Light' and 'Maxi' versions. Torrent links here."

Windows comes on one disc true!
But then, to do anything useful you're going to need MS Office (3 disks), a development environment/compiler/toolchain (3 disks). . . So you're already at 8 disks and you're not even close to all the applications you get on most linux distros.
Plus you've just spent >$200 on top of the cost of windows.

The burn-any-format drives are less than $50, and media is $35/100. That's definitely getting down in the why-the-hell-not range, for me
