I'm a seasoned windows - linux newbie, and am really impressed with knoppix 3.3.
It has detected all the hardware that I have, old and new, and run without a hitch ! It has great stuff included too: openoffice, adobe, mozilla, etc.
Now I just need to figure out how to install it on my hard drive and create a dual boot system, (HELP?!) , so that I can hopefully, eventually join the ranks of those who've dumped windows in favor of lean running linux.
!!!THANKS TO THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE LABOR THAT WENT INTO KNOPPIX !!!
