Hi Guys.
I was really shocked yesterday when i saw a distro of Linux named KNOPPIX 3.6 and that wonderful thing about it was that one can run the OS without having the need to install it ! WOW. i haven't used it yet but i guess u guys must already know about it. mind shedding some light on it? i haven't checked if it runs with one CD or two.

Interesting. I havn't tried it; as I already run Slackware, and have no need for another distro atm.

mmmm, knoppix
every linux advocate should have a cd :P :P
Its based on debian with a FULL HARDWARE DETECTION BOOTUP!
yes, folks, you pop the cd in, boot it and you have a full kde 3.x desktop with _no_ user intervention required, sound works, internet, office suites... the works

really cool
i got a mate converted by taking a cd round and showing him, now he has rh on a partition ;D ;D
