I've been trying Linux on and off for a couple of years. My first experience with Linux was with a version of Slackware (can't remember) way back in 1996. At the time the installation was so daunting that I gave up all together. For a little background I consider myself a proficient computer user.

Does the newest version of Knoppix come with a built in friendly installer? I tried the previous version and saw if I wanted to install I had to press some key combination that took me to a console then I typed some hdinstall command and in the end there was German, and it just didn't work all that great. In the end I ended up going with MEPIS because it worked the same way, a Live CD, but it actually had an icon to an installer on the desktop which worked perfectly; asked a couple questions, performed the install, done. The only thing I don't like about MEPIS is it's easy to mess up the installation because it has a lot of distro specific files, that if you do an APT-GET Upgrade you may overwrite; kind of like the Linspire specific debian files that can get overwritten causing havoc if you're not careful.
