Hello all, i would just like to say that i am glad to be on this new forum and hope to learn much!
My name is Kenny, i work for a local city and am a "IT Network System Support" employee.
What got me onto knoppix? Well a year ago, i was given the cd for free by a friend who is in depth with linux. I never used it, but i remember stating "This CD can overpower windows like crazy." So i just grabbed it for fun.
3 days ago, i was in a situation which i couldnt retrieve data off of a computer, looking in my CD booklet - i saw "Knoppix 3.7" and it just made sense to boot onto a CD based OS to see if i could complete the job in which i was attempting to do.
15 minutes later ...............the job was complete.
I fell in love with knoppix and i want to learn what else i can do with it and how it will benefit me in my field.
Im primarily a Windows/Mac guy. But im willing to learn a lot about linux and knoppix as well.
However, i am a bit confused with some of the stuff i see on the screen, can anyone link me to a intro tutorial or something of that nature to get my feet wet. Also, what are some other benefits with knoppix BESIDES just data recovery!?!?!? (this is something im defiently looking to get answered)
Thanks!
