Linux 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.

You know, it never ceases to amaze me that someone takes all that time to write a review and you can't even get past the first page of posts before someone is slamming the guy. Now I agree that there are some facts missing and some information can be added. The video card info, for instance, needed to be stated. But why thrash the guy? Making technical corrections or stating your views is what these posts are here for, correct away. But you should really consider how you would feel if you took the time to write a review/article, missed a few pieces of info, and got hacked on for it. Not everyone knows everything, not even you, you, or you <points finger at all> and definitely not me.
