Grab and burn 2 copies of the Knoppix ISO from http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=44
<BEGIN RANT>Be sure to give at least 1 Knoppix CD to your Windoze friends. Tell'em it runs from CD only and won't install anything on their PC harddisk. They'll be impressed when the entire CD-based system boots quicker than Windows, recognizes AND CONFIGURES all hardware and comes with an attractive desktop loaded with software. Don't immediately mention Linux because they'll probably spout "Shareware?!?!?!?" become withdrawn as their minds brownout to the late eighties/early ninties when MS/DOS was King and a shareware program was the result a lone programmer of GWBASIC or God forbid, a VB app for Win3.1. Rather, mention that the software on the Knoppix CD is the collective effort of an International team of software engineers numbering in the hundreds or thousands. Mention that it's features and functionality could easily justify a retail price of over $1000 but the "team" believes everyone deserves quality software with free upgrades. If they're still not convinced because they think "free != quality" then kindly direct them to Staples or Best Buy. There they can find the same quality software in pretty consumer friendly shrinkwrap packaging at a very modest price from corporations (Red Hat/Mandrake) willing to provide paid maintenance/support services.<END RANT> Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Brion Hase [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 12:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [sclug-general] Mostly a test I think we should just refer to that flavor as "Ted Kat Linux" or simply "Tk Linux". Jeff, where does one get Knoppix Linux? Sounds pretty cool.
