hi, i'm searching for a desktop distribution of linux, something like ubuntu but who needs the less of internet use, because i'm on a dialup connection and it's a pain in the ass to download every updates everytimes, and run a lot of internet sucking apps. i would like to have debian like the netinst one, it would be cool to select all the apps you wants and then push "download" and that it would give you your debian-based linux distro with the packages you want heheh, but hum a very fast running system with the less internet use possible.
something like debian with fluxbox dunno...
a distro, with whatever the size it has, but i dont want to download updates and any files after, because apt-get upgrade are fat in size.

thanks for your suggestions

Every linux distribution will need to be updated to stay with the most stable and secure software. You realize that you don't HAVE to update if you don't want to, right? For a desktop distribution, you would be best to stay with ubuntu or fedora core. However, ubuntu is 1 cd and fedora is 4.

Pick a distro, order the installation CDs from the developer, and install it. When you want to upgrade/update, order the CDs. No downloads needed and you'll provide the developer with a much needed meal.
