Knowing Knoppix

If you have been giving away Knoppix CDs to your friends you might want to also point them to this site. Knowing Knoppix, The first guide to Knoppix for the complete beginner. "Knoppix is an astoundingly clever product. It runs Linux completely from CD. There is no need to install. It bypasses all the software already installed on your PC or laptop. It automatically detects the hardware in your computer, such as video card, sound card, networking, the lot (subject to suitable hardware). When you've finished using Knoppix, simply restart. Your computer will return to your regular system, and it will behave as if nothing has happened. Knoppix is Free Software and open source under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence (GPL)."

This is really an excellent piece of work. I use Knoppix in my classes on system administration,
network security and even to introduce newbies to Linux.

It's a great tool and this is a great introduction.

Highly recommended. (Or had you guessed that already?)
