I got a grml 0.95 and from what it was able to do, I was curious enough to burn and try out the latest release to date.
I liked the clean desktop accompanied by the gkrell window full of system status information right from the start.
If you own a decent system, you may use grml even as an OS for your daily work. With an old notebook <700 MHz CPU and 128 MB RAM I got Firefox killed regularly, think by problems with memory allocation. A graphical desktop and more (web) gui tasks may simply not match too good to with such a low memory system. You can use any old CD-ROM drive, but I consider a non-current optical drive a No-go as well. However, with 1,5 GHz CPU and >= 512 MB RAM I was able to work the whole day without a single complaint. Good stuff.
