Not saying its not, but I'm having other problems with floppies. being
unreliable over long periods of time and plenty of use is one of them.

You do mean ClarkConnect ? If I read it correctly the office version (which is
the only one that includes PPTP support which I probably nead) costs money,
and much more then what I'm ready to pay for such a solution, assuming I'm
only paying for ease of use here - I can set it all up myself, I'm just lazy.

Yes, and I don't want it. old computers usually have old cdroms that will only
get older. these tend to develop problems reading new CDs and I don't want to
be called panicly to the location only to find out that the system didn't go
up after the last power cycle due to a faulty cdrom. harddisks, even
relativly old ones tend to be much more robust, even after power failures.
A lot of LiveCD type distros these days are offering harddisk installation -
I'm inclined to go that way.
