dosemu

hi, i'm Alex from sicily
i've found this interesting program for linux and apparently it's
capable of running my beloved videogame (carmageddon 1) on native HW,
i'd like to ask you if there is a simple solution for having an USB
drive with linux and dosemu, the actual question is... what linux
distro is best just for this pourpose? i've tried dosbox on windows
and it goes slow even on my "rig", with knoppix 7.4.2 it works, but no
sound (not with 7.6.1), even on a 2003 (A.C.) machine :)

i know nothing about linux... (but i know DOS) a super slim\quick
tutorial will be greatly appreciated

humongous thanks in advance... Alex
