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.

Excellent Live CD a'la Knoppix but (unlike Knoppix) painlessly & quickly installs a fully configured fully featured OS to HDD in 10 - 15 mins.

All the benefits of debian but without the pain.

Available as a free ISO download to try before you 'erm... donate ;)
