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 got a laptop for xmas that came preloaded with WinXP. Knoppix also has included the ntfsresize and QTParted that allowed me to "save" my laptop from a life doomed to running only winxp!
I can now dual boot it to fedora core on the hard drive thanks to knoppix! And it was as simple as could be. Even a newbie could do it if he knew about the tool.
Pass the word all
