Hi, arlex,
The jlime site at
http://jlime.com/forum/index.php and its links to downloads/documentation is the go-to place. Their how-to's are sharp and their download sections along with the repositories are still up. Were I you, I would download everything from their site ASAP, including the repositories--there's not much activity or recent development, and I fear this project may have already ended.
For me, my distro-hopping was guided by my dislike of abiword. If you can live with abiword--which isn't that bad; it just has poor manuscript-making qualities
(smart quotes, em dashes, etc
)--then definitely go with the current jlime distro or the gpe version. They're better built than Opie or even Familiar Linux GPE.
As for the cf formatting, that can be tricky, and you have to have some knowledge of linux-workings along with gparted experience. If you're willing to ship, you could send me several 512mb-1gb compact flash cards and I'll set them up for you with distros of your choice.
Let me know if you get stuck, but do download everything and have it well-cataloged, then you won't waste time looking through the web.
[You know, I lived in Bucharest for three years, adopted my daughter in Arad. Romania, obviously, is one of my all-time favorite places in the world.]
