first blog entry from a linux machine(almost) ever.....well since i had plans to install linux and that didnt go exactly as planned, so I downloaded knoppix. And it is amazing, amazing hardware detection and is packed with stuff(over 2 gb of stuff) All you have to do is boot from the cd. My brother who is skeptical about linux enjoyef playing with it for a good hour. There are some downs, like settings are saved etc..., So go download knoppix and give it a whirl.
