Knoppix is a Debian based Live CD distribution. What this means is that you don't have to install it to your hard disk to use it. It boots straight off the CD.
Knoppix is very good at detecting your hardware and rarely will you find a piece of hardware that Knoppix could not detect.
Knoppix comes with the X Window System and uses KDE as its desktop environment. It also includes window managers such as WindowMaker and Fluxbox. There is no GNOME due to the CD size constraints, but there's a similar distribution (Gnoppix) that offers the GNOME desktop instead of KDE.
Knoppix also includes many tools like XMMS for your entertainment needs, the OpenOffice and KOffice packages for office work, the GIMP for graphics, and complete development and networking tools.
Being a live CD, Knoppix is also a tremendously powerful rescue system for Linux and even Windows systems. Even if you use any other Linux distribution, or even no Linux at all, it is a good idea to keep a working Knoppix CD to rescue your data and/or your system if something goes wrong. For example,if you want to save data (e.g. configuration files) from a system partition that became somehow unbootable, Knoppix can save your life very easily : just start Knoppix from the CD drive and burn your data on a CD with K3b or another CD burner program (or copy your data on another partition).
While its primary purpose is as a live CD, a wonderful thing about Knoppix is that it is also a great way to install Debian to your hard drive with a simple gui-installation.
And this is where I wrote this so I wouldn't forget **
section 3 at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml covers this
(this is knoppix for a small hd) 780 mb cloop partition 128 min swap <320 mb /homeYou can do knoppix on the hd with 64mb and 1 gig disk, it won't be fun..
Knoppix HDD installaton can be summoned by executing the sudo knoppix-installer command. If executed in console, a console based installer will appear and if in KDE, a graphical installer will appear.
