Well what are you going to be using it for?
I dont think it has the apt -get feature and I heard about some problems with the booting. Thats why I ask what is the need of it? What are you using now and are you wanting to take that learning curve?

i have never use or looked into phalk but if you jst want a cdrom distro that you dont have to install but jst run from the cd i would recommend knoppix its a great distro. or look into knoppixSTD if you want that hacker took kit type stuff that phalk has :) hope this helps

edit: http://www.knoppix-std.org/ this is the web site to knoppix std you should take a look at it

Is this a required class for your school?
If your taking the class because need or want the knowledge, I would suggest slackware on your system.

PM for the tutorial on slakware written entirley by gore.
