Sorry, had to swear off the shine after a buddy and I split a quart of
it, which disappeared about 2-3 hours after cracking the seal...

That was the first and last time I've managed to hurl after passing
out for 10 hours - which in turn made me wonder just how close I was
to mimicking Bon Scott's exit strategy.

Now it's beer or sub-100-proof liquors - and never both in one night ;-)

Not the ethics so much, but www.linux.org has a searchable list of
distros that might get you on the right track. They are somewhat
catagorized by things like processor, user friendly, power user,
slack-based, etc
