Bootable Linux Demo Distro - Knoppix

Posted by michael on from the beautiful-work dept.

ts writes "Newsforge has an article about using Linux to recover Windows partitions. The interesting part is not only the article, but also the comment about Knoppix a Live-on-CD distribution of Linux. I just downloaded it and it booted from CD on a Shuttle Spacewalker SS25. AMAZING. Even the audio works. Have any /. users found interesting uses for this distro?" I've been looking for exactly this to use in demonstrations. Perfect.

    This reminds me a question:

    Does anyone knows a backup tool (for CD-R, not tape) that can incremental backup? mindi/mondo combo is good - until you need incremental backup, my Linux partitions are 40 GB and I cannot afford tape right now. full backup with CD-R is ok for first full backup, but each week a full set of CD-R's?
