Ok, I've never used Linux before or even seen ti, but I've always been interested in it.

I'm currently downloading the 3.9 cd version, i've heard that its' buggy, but i'm halfway through downloading, so I guess i'l just put up with it!

What will happen to my PC when I boot off the cd? Will my files be changed or anything? If I use Knoppix for a bit then reboot normally will everything be as it was? I currenty don't have any way of backing anything up...

Any advice? What should I expect when I have loaded Knoppix?

Thanks for your help,

Rich
