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.

I wish reviewers were less clueless. Normally using virtual desktops doesn't take up more ram. Furthermore explaining the amount of ram used by knoppinx bootup is also non-sensical. It basicly = total amount read in by knoppix(unless you lack ram..then it's less) + memory used by programs + fake memory usage of files that are memory mapped, but not used.
