Best (CD Bootable?) Linux Distro for Dominions?

Well, until Johan posted in this topic that the bug is fixed in the next patch, there was no indication that it would be. Given that I don't have the source code, I felt that yes, it was worthwhile to devise a bootable Linux CD workaround. Presumably I'm not the only Windows based player involved in MP games via the mosehansen.dk site who is disadvantaged by hallucinatory battle scenes, and was surprised to find this to be the case.
