Knoppix Tips and Tricks
cosog writes "Robert Storey writes in a
thorough review about Knoppix: 'Some people even take a Knoppix disk with them when they go shopping for a new computer, a clever way to ensure that the hardware will be Linux compatible before you purchase it.' His article discusses things like: booting, rescuing, installing on HDD, tips'n'tricks, etc... A nice read for everyone interested in Linux (and Knoppix in particular ;)."
If you are really into a bunch of fat geek guy losers fucking dead boy corpses up what was once a living, functional poop chute, then you'll love all the corpsefucking at Anti-Slash! A website that thinks they can revolutionize Slashdot, but all they end up doing is fucking boy corpses! What a bunch of loser faggots! Watch as they pretend to be better when they are doing nothing but the same shit as Slashdot. Sign up for your account today and pretend you are not a loser! It's nothing but a bunch of pasty loser dorks that couldn't get a date to save their lives just trying to be cool in front of each other! It's so pathetic it's entertaining! Oh, and CRAPFLOOD THEM!

Knoppix is Not Debian For Fuck's Sake.
Please don't come to #debian channel and split your guts right out yelling that Knoppix comes from Debian so you've right to ask Knoppix's questions there.

I decided, after hearing so much about Knoppix and how it could get me into using Linux without all the fuss (partitions? what? geez) I thought I'd give it a go.
I was not impressed to say the least.
I booted the operating system and then started work on an essay on the ontological beliefs of Heraclitus of Ephesos. First of all starting OpenOffice.org ('.org' at the end of an application name? What's with that?) took incredibly long. I could have installed my copy (yes, it's legit and paid for) of Windows Millenium Edition in the time it took to boot Knoppix and start OpenOffice.org. Anyway it was to my surprise that even though I saved this file to my 'Desktop', the next time I booted Knoppix it was nowhere to be found. So now my philosophy 521 paper was missing -- needless to say I booted into Windows Millenium Edition (where files don't just god damned disappear) and rewrote the paper, printed it (couldn't get that working in Knoppix either) and haven't looked back.
I really like the idea of cooperation and open source software, the community idea seems really neat, and I hope these guys get their stuff together so regular guys like me can use this software at the efficiency and reliability that professional software offers.
I have posted a Mirror further up in the thread

mod parent up, it does load rather slow.
This Troll shows up wherever Knoppix is discussed... don't get sucked in.
Knoppix saves, too, you know.
Guess that means there's more than one way, eh?

A few months ago I was shopping around for a new PC (Bruce Perens was around at my place a while back to beg for scraps of food, but got excited and lost control of his bladder in close proximity to my ATX tower case). I found a local PC dealer that I liked the look of, but I couldn't be sure that the newish ATI Radeon 9800XT video card in it would be properly supported by apt-get. I asked the shop staff if they would mind if I brought in my own hard drive and do an install of Debian 3.0 onto it. They didn't mind at all (apparently Bruce Perens used to beg for food all the time at their store, so they were quite familiar with Debian).
They were really great about it. They even let me stay in the shop overnight to complete the Debian installation! Luckily I started it in the morning, otherwise I would have been there over the weekend as well! Anyway...by about lunchtime the next day I had Debian running sweet on their box, and began to test out apt-get. WOW is all I can say!!! That Radeon 9800XT made the progress marks in apt-get fly past! It must have been updating packages at about 350fps!!!
I decided to buy the machine after all that, and I got Bruce a sandwich on the way home too. He loves that kind of attention. All I can hope is that he doesn't show his appreciation by whizzing on my new GNU/Opteron ATX box! apt-get peace out kids!

Please shut the fuck up. Thanks
this is not interesting. in fact, this is fucking retarded. I hope you die.
No kidding. Who cares if it runs Linux? Just buy a Mac and run OS X. It's 100 times better than Linux and you don't have to worry about whether it'll support your hardware. Plus, there's even software and games you can buy for it. It's a nice middle ground between the high end (Windows) and the low end (OS/2, FreeBSD, Linux).
