When Knoppix was first released it was heralded as revolutionary in the Linux world. Its autodetection and configuration capabilities were unsurpassed. Many of my colleagues remarked that if 'KNOPPIX can't do it, Linux can't do it'. Theoretically, one would be able to get a Knoppix CD, pop it into an arbitrary system, run it, save one's data to a partition, USB stick, etc....), reboot and the existing system would be left completely as it was before the CD was placed in the system.

Those guys at Knoppix have impressed me thoroughly. I love how they applied the phylosophy behind the Linux and FSF movement to music and other forms of IP. That is what it is all about. Not making a Windows replacement, but making a community that has the right and freedom to share.
I would contribute to their project before any others, but I'm doing my own thing atm.
