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.

Updating on my story. I downloaded Knoppix 3.4, since I have a reasonably fast connection, a lot of CD's to burn and I wanted to try it against other LiveCD distros I downloaded (Gnoppix, Mepis and SUSE's Live Eval). As the 3.3 version Knoppix recognized everything except the PCMCIA memory card reader I mentioned in the article. Instead of feeling bad about this (for me this is a non-issue) I posted the question on the Knoppix forum. So far I've no responses to the question yet. MY question is: How different can a 3.3 to 3.4 version be that something that works on one doesn't work on the other? I'm using now 3.3 for the time being.
Oh, and Sound Works now. It was a, uh, PEBKAC problem I think. :-P Anyone can point me to streaming classical music that I can hear on XMMS?
Also, I'm finding myself booting into Knoppix more frequently now. The speed, reliability and stability of the OS is just great.
