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.

Do reviewers ever read the comments to articles? There have been quite a number of reviews of Linux here on OSNews in the past where the reviewer looks at the output of free and then concludes that Linux uses a lot of memory!
And the author goes on to blame his display problems on memory leaks. I mean, fair enough. He's a newbie and doesn't know that his video card has issues, but to immediately pin the blame on memory leaks? Does he even know what a memory leak is? http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?query=memory+leak&acti...
I'm not trying to slam the author. But I've got a problem with people who try to be authoritative but know squat.
