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.

Though I have liked Knoppix, it in v3.3 and 3.4 is unable to autodetect my hardware successfully; my USB KVM switch stops it from working with my mouse and keyboard. Morphix (a Knoppix variant) does work, as do Feather and DSL (though in both their cases, it's due to them both asking for settings to enable the keyboard and mouse (please note, I am a Mac OS X user, as well as Win2K and have dabbled with various Linux variants; Slax has no problem working for me). That said, Knoppix is a good CD for emergencies and general work, I simply can't get it to work for me.
