knoppix is a custom mix of Debian stable and test and unstable or 
whatever, if I recall correctly.  (See, I'm not a Debian guy so I have 
only a cursory understanding of Debian's release trees.)

Anyway, this mix can make apt-get tricky.  If that is so, I would 
recommend knoppix for a CD based distro but not for a newbie hard disk 
install.

These conclusions of mine are based on what I remember being bantered 
about in this list.  I am wearing asbestos so I can take a correction if 
I am wrong.
