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 my 2 cents:)
I had a 200 MHz K6 with a 2 MB Trident 9440 PCI video card that was just TERRIBLE. If generic applications were to be done (Windows apps), this setup was fine...but when I tried to play an old game, such as Age of Empires...it suffered miserably....horrible shadowing, etc.
