what PXE Linux Distribution is right for me?

Q. I'm looking for a Linux distribution with a GUI that can boot live with PXE. It must come with Gparted and must be light weight enough to run in as little as 92 MB ram and a 266 MHZ Processor. I'm not in the least concerned about the speed the Distro has. thanks in advance
Turns out that i have 192 MB ram....so increase the min ram too that.

A. alot of people setup their PXE servers with Red Hat, Ubuntu or Debian.
There was a pretty good how to article about seting up Red Hat PXE across networks in last months linux journal if you can find a back issue. Also, here are some web links as well.

what is your insight about Linux file system?
Q. what can you say about linux file system compared to windows'?

A. You should say Linux Filesystem because there isn't a official one
The most common filesystems are ext2 (older), reiserfs(old), ext3(latest)
If you are refering to the directory structure the way Linux stores files then you can compare them
In Windows the root directory is C:\
In UNIX/Linux the root directory is \
In Windows the storage component are devices and accessible to a directory structure
In UNIX to open storage device you have to mount them to a destination before opening them
In terms of fragmentation it is lower because ext3 does not write to disk immediately but throws the data into journal back up
Then calculate the most optimal allocation before writing to final destination

How do I operate Linux Multi media studio?
Q. I can do simple things with it already, and I have a midi set up with my keyboard. I want to make techno as good a quality as Dj tiesto, or Dj splash. Or even Darren Styles :P . I cannot for the life of me figure out how the effects and the automation thing works. I tried looking at the users manual on wiki but I need something more in layman's terms. Can anyone help?

A. Try looking through this article : http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/introducing-lmms-linux-multimedia-studio?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+linuxjournalcom+%28Linux+Journal+-+The+Original+Magazine+of+the+Linux+Community%29
