Knoppix Facts:
- Knoppix is Debian based!
- This distro is the original Live CD distro, which enables the user to run an entire operating system completely from a CD disk
- Because it is meant to be run from the CD disk drive on a computer it is not suitable for a hard drive install..This is a great back-up distro that you can use to troubleshoot your system or take with you when you travel.
Things I like:
- Easy to run
- Fast! On the webpage, it says zero to linux in 5 minutes..this is true!
- Looks great! This distro uses KDE desktop, which works hard to give a visually pleasing desktop experience (eye-candy).
- Every application I tried out worked.
- I like the Rescue Disk concept
What I didn't like:
- I got a tad confused on a couple of set up questions but I mostly chose defaults when that happened
- I liked it so much that it would have been great to install but Knoppix is not meant as a hard drive intall distro. For me, that's a deal breaker. (If portability is an issue for you, then you might just love this distro!)
