Knoppix Version 3.3 -- Run Linux from CD


I recently came across a killer distrib of Linux called Knoppix. The best thing about it is that you can run it from your CD-ROM! For newbies, it's very easy and intuitive in its interface and very robust.

The only complaint I have about this distro is that the refresh rates suck and kills your eyes until you change it.

I think that Knoppix could be a Windows killer if given enough opportunity. I think it's a wonderful thing that so many Linux distributions are focusing on the desktop and edging ever so closer into Windows terrority.

Do you smell that? Change is coming...
