I'd recommend the CD (you can generally get it for around $10 US) just
because downloading all those packages can be a pain when you're trying to
get started.

most people who only use Win95 only have one partition -- this can be done
with a few utilities that are around.

Debra and Ian -- the two people who started the distribution.
