Convince me about Debian

[Robert Wultsch]

The power of knoppix is that what you see is what you get. So nyou boot 
from the cd and make sure everything (video, sound, networking) is 
working, then you do a ctrl + alt + F2 and then type "knx-hdinstall". 
Half an hour later you have a great debian system.
