KnoppixLinux (http://www.knoppix.org) is a derivative of DebianGnuLinux that uses KDE Gui. It is the original LiveCdOs. Due, in part, to the fierce KdeVsGnome WindowManager debate, a similar Linux distribution is also available with GnomeDesktopEnvironment and called GnoppixLinux. * ''...Gnoppix had to include an extra 30 MBs of packages just for the needed KDE libs to be able to run K3B'' ** from http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=8286 ---- ''An interesting tool called Part''''''Image came with distribution 3.3 or later'' * see http://www.partimage.org/ ''Please report favorable experience of using this and LiveCdOs to overcome WindowsOperatingSystems related problems.'' * I used a Knoppix CD to boot a friends windows machine that wouldn't boot from any disk he had avaliable (Actually, he just couldn't access any hdd data). I was able to mount his windows hdd and burn a cd with important data (he had poor backups) and then he safely wiped the disk and started over.. Left him the cd. I can never seem to hang on to the knoppix cds for long... ---- ''created by someone clueless about UnixCulturalAssumption, but who got attracted to the prospects of a thumbdrive bootable LiveCdOs. Waiting for UnixMaster to make appropriate corrections.'' * Intended for use with a future IwannaLearnLinux page :) ---- LinuxDistribution CategoryLinux
