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 makes linux painless. I have impressed many people by giving them a copy. On all the machines that I have seen it boot on, not one of them failed to have a working video, sound, and network driver. I installed it on the harddrive of an older machine at home. I find myself using Debian more and more throughout the day. Knoppix is slick.
