It's easy to grow increasingly cynical the more you follow "innovation" in operating systems and software. New releases often turn out to be nothing more than reinventing, or repackaging, the wheel, with new icons and steeper system requirements. Yet every now and then persistence pays off and that lengthy download or poorly written web site delivers something truly amazing and faith in the future of computing is, albeit temporarily, restored. I experienced such a sensation a couple of months ago when I downloaded the CD-ROM based, Linux distribution known as Knoppix.

Knoppix is absolutely excellent as a CD-rom distribution. 2 gigs worth of Linux software that will boot up on just about anything and allow some productivity. In its class it is truly excellent; not only the best CD Rom Linux but the best CD-Rom OS.
I think the idea of using it instead of an installed Linux on an installable machine isn't a great idea as the tools aren't really configured properly for long term management.
