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.

Complaining about having too many virtual desktops, etc. These take virtually no memory unless used. Why not have four?
Because it takes up more room on the launch bar than it should. Of course, I guess you could turn the virtual desktop panel off, but I personally have no use for 4 of them.
If you don't want OpenOffice on there, then customize the CD. It's easy when you follow the directions. I created a CD without OOo just because it saved enough space on the CD to put a TGZ copy of a vital computer's boot partition on it for recovery purposes.
Is it possible to customize this OS such that you could make your own copy, with Flash, Java, DVD-video etc. plus Wine and a few Windows apps ready out of the box? I realize such things would not be legal to distribute, but I"m talking about for personal use.
