My Workstation OS: Knoppix (NewsForge) [LWN.net]

Irfan Habib explains why he likes Knoppix on his desktop. "Knoppix has many uses. Many use it as a GNU/Linux advocacy tool, for which it is well-suited, as it comes with the latest and greatest FOSS software, which can be readily demonstrated to potential users. Knoppix is also a great rescue CD. And Knoppix lets me take my desktop anywhere by letting me save my settings to a configuration file. I can load Knoppix on any computer, load my customized settings, and mount a USB storage device as the home directory, and voilà! there's my desktop."
