Knoppix

[JD Austin]

Knoppix is way cool.. Im running it on my laptop right now :)
I'd have to say Im impressed... a full featured linux distro on a cd.
It detected all my laptop peripherals, automatically did dhcp, and started
X ... Beats the heck out of the Cygwin I have installed :)
Definately something I'll carry with me wherever I take my laptop from now
on!
