I have used KNOPPIX now on four machines, an ATX Athlon, two old AT computers, one without enuf memory for KDE (ran icewhatever), and a fairly new HP laptop computer. Works on all. The most amazing thing, to me, was the laptop. Not only did it work, it ran with both the mouse surrogate on the keyboard and also with the wheel mouse. It detected the sound card and configured the network all automatically. (DHCP). It even found my old ISA sound card on my Athlon, which, as memory serves, was a bear to configure with Caldera 2.4. The most painless "installs" I have ever had for linux. It detects and mounts (read only) all the hard drive partitions, whether windows or linux.
The only thing it didn't seem to do properly was to configure network printing, although it has a printing wizard. This is a bit surprising but printing is usually a nuisance. So, KNOPPIX seems to be a great way to run linux in some situations. I just hope KNOPPIX is continued. This is really a solution for some situations.
