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.

Review of Knoppix

Another clueless review.Ripe about speed running a cd based O/S on a 233MHZ.Thank something lighter ,maybe even without KDE would help.How about Morphix light.The test system had a 4 gig hard drive if he,d installed Knoppix could have seen the CD would have used most the drive.Asking a lot to want a fast disto.
