I can't speak to "Hacking Knoppix", although I'll make note to check it out. I got "Knoppix Hacks" when it first came out. It had some good stuff. I would only say that unless they issued a new edition, the CD provided may seem a bit out of date.
Side note: I sit adjacent to a PC help desk group in my current assignment. They use Knoppix CDs as their "emergency disk" when they get a particularly bad Windows box in for repair... The guys I talked to were really not aware that Knoppix was a Linux distribution. Our talks led to a couple of them checking Linux out after hours. Made a few converts...
