mawcs	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 1:49 PM What is on the CD? I spent maybe 20 minutes trying to get their pages to download (I'm on redundant 0C3s so it darn well isn't my connection) I wouldn't trust their download service, and hence I don't trust them with my info. too bad..
RyanS	Date: March 24, 2004 @ 5:23 PM You could goto http://www.knoppix.org - or - http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html. Their page says they've released 3.4, but download sites are still showing 3.3. I already have that version, and wanted 3.4 because of the 2.6.3 kernel.
mawcs	Date: March 25, 2004 @ 1:00 PM You missed my point... I say that they aren't trustworthy. I don't want the CD. I would rather just download the old-fashioned way and burn to CD myself.
Thaspian	Date: March 26, 2004 @ 3:44 PM You can download it yourself, from a trusted site, opposed to a random site, so I don't think many will be using this alternative, IMO.
wet1	Date: June 19, 2005 @ 5:17 PM The Knoppix was the first Linux OS I tried. Simply, I downloaded the iso image and burned the cd. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about Linux and had never tried it. It runs fine and the only bitch I had with it, wasn't a fault of the OS but rather that it ran slow due to the limiting speed of the cd reader. That being said it was a fine beginners OS to start with. I began with the Knoppix and later installed an older version of Suse on this machine to try it out. I will be trying other Linux flavors till I find the one that feels right for me. That being said, the next Linux on the list is Ubuntu and that is what I plan to try next. I have downloaded both the run disc and the OS install disc. After that I will try the Redhat.
pog	Date: June 24, 2005 @ 9:48 PM I have tried some distros recently on my old pentium III 550mhz.... a lot of them had issues with the older hardware. kubuntu (ubuntu with kde) is pretty good, but the live version was the only one that worked on this old box. It installed just fine on one of my newer systems. Mandrake 9 was okay, but version 10 wouldn't install (again, an older hardware issue I suspect) I now have freebsd running and it works pretty well.... even though I did need a little help with getting kde up and running.
