    Build it the way you want and burn it!

    Don't forget to grab an inexpensive USB memory toy and you have it all!

    With Knoppix, as long as you can boot the CD, you have all the applications you need, pre-installed, pre-configured, pre-tested, pre-EVERYTHING.

    It's all about the apps.

    (and a rock solid OS to run the apps on)

    I'm a developer for one of the above projects. Competition is interesting.

    Sorry to put you down. But my vote, as native german speaker, goes to "Knoppixe".
    The "e" is pronounced as a schwa vovel. Plus the "K" is not silent!
