I'm going to suggest that for your actual installation, you may want to
try Mepis instead of Knoppix. It's easier to install. It's still "Debian
with training wheels" like Knoppix, and runs from the CD before
installed. But once installed it's closer in ease of use to Lindows or
Xandros, except unlike them it's registration optional to support
development, not "give me money to touch it." http://mepis.org
Strange to say, Mepis developer Warren Woodford is getting enough
voluntary registrations to cover his costs. He's talking about doing
some "value add" stuff he'd charge for, like selling Crossover products
and Win4Lin and providing custom and semi-custom "cubicleware" versions
for specific business purposes, but for now the "tip jar" model seems to
be taking care of his modest needs.
