See section #1. I took the mention to be a request that someone else
take a look at elxlinux and do this user's dirty work for him.

There are many alternatives to downloading for a resourceful person--
even to the point of visiting a cable modem-enabled neighbour and
bringing a loaf of fresh bread over to ask that they download it for
you.

The attitude of this user was one suggestive of laziness on his part,
and a lack of drive. I doubt there are many here who would waste their
time evaluating a Linux distribution when there's so much effort
involved in installing, fiddling, and learning a new one.
