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've seen a lot of people recommend Knoppix to newbies, so it only seems natural that reviews may be coming from people who know little-to-nothing about the OS? I mean, how much are you going to learn from a Linux kernel hacker who reviews the distro and knows how to tweak everything, then posts a rave review saying that everything works perfectly? Well, of COURSE it does when you know how to hack 20 config files to get everything working just the way you want it to, but that is not exactly the point, is it?
