I'm looking for an OS to run a laptop in the kitchen, with the following characteristics:
1. Fast boot.
2. Fast shutdown.
3. Not harmed by forced power-down.
4. Only required for web browsing.
5. Will consider setup that does not allow to save.
6. User requirement: although slapping the lid shut to go into hibernation fits most requirements, it is not on the table for non-tech reasons.
Actually I'd like Palm for Toshiba but I can't find that. Maybe Damn Small Linux live boot on a USB stick?
I would, honestly, consider any version of Windows that might do it. But you seem to be stuck with the whole payload or nothing. Presumably using old unsupported versions (I have the classic 3.1 disks still) would be asking for trouble?
