Knoppix kicks ass!!!

KNOPPIX Linux Live CD

I bumped into this thing by reading somebody else's blog... and it made me very curious because previously I'd never really paid much attention to "livecds". Really, how much good could an OS running straight from the CD (without installing on the hard drive) be?

I gave it a shot, and WOW WOW WOW!!! Out of the box it recognized everything I had in my laptop computer, and even connected me to the wifi network! Unbelievable! I didn't need to configure anything by hand. It just... worked like a charm! This is how OSes are supposed to work Bill!

Well, well... this was such a nice surprise that I'm hooked now, and I'm trying to find other Linux livecds. But I read somewhere some reviews saying that actually Knoppix is the best in this kind of job?

Ummm, right now I'm not sure for what am I gonna use these livecds. Hopefully I won't need them for a system rescue operation! But as a technical curiosity, I think I should follow.
