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.

Since installing Knoopix 3.4 I have been running apt-get update then atp-get upgrade daily. Works great. Through apt, installed Mozilla-firebird and thunderbird, got windows fonts running perfectly. For installation on HD, used knoppix-installer from command line. New Kernel 2.6 successfully detects my integrated network card which 2.4 doesn't. Problems with detection of UXGA screen and acpi, but this is on the way to a great distro-and other than Libranet, also very fine, is the way to go for Debian users.
