What's the best linux distro for a computer without an internet connection?

Q. Considering only this as a criterion, what's the best linux distribution that comes to mind?

Thanks

A. A distro that comes on a DVD, not a CD (you get more packages that way) and one that has compiled packages, not some thing that you have to build each package from scratch.

Linux Format and Linux Magazine (out of the UK, not the US mag by the same name) both provide DVDs that mean that criteria.

You can get Ubuntu, Mandriva, Suse, and other such distros like that. Just avoid multi-distro DVDs which have smaller, less complete versions since you won't be able to get online to add or upgrade packages.

how do i take screenshots in linux installation?
Q. Hi.

I've noticed in several blogs that people makes installations to test Linux distributions and they take screenshots throughout the install process, how do they do that?

If you need some specifical information about the Linux installation in which i want to do that, i'm particularly interested doing it on Fedora 8.

Thanks.

A. In Gnome based distributions, Take Screenshot is under Accessories in the main menu. If you also look in keyboard shortcuts (open Control Center) you can make keyboard shortcuts for both entire screen or windows. Once again for Gnome, the command is gnome-screenshot.

Can I run a Linux distribution on any tablets?
Q. Are there any tablets (or netbooks) that can run a Linux distribution from unetbootin? I would get the distribution "unbuntu" or something like that. I would like for it to have USB drives on it and the price tag less than $150.

A. Most tablets don't support booting from USB. The only ones that do are generally x86 tablets, which are always above $200 brand new.
