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.

Just this morning, I installed Knoppix (yes, that's right, installed) on a PC here at work. Never done it before, so I found some instructions here:

They, for the most part are very accurate. Let me tell you, I was very impressed. Within half an hour, I had (what amounted to) a Debian testing/unstable installation. Man, was I impressed. Easy doesn't begin to describe the process. Apt-get is wonderful.
You want linux, forget about RedHat, SuSe, or Mandrake. Install Knoppix, be happy.
