Ok I'm just starting to know about linux. I'm learing it at school. I'm using a shell (bash). I was wondering, would knoppix be ideal for me? all I want is a general linux distrubution that has a bash shell and that can support C++ programming. i don't want such a big file, but a small one. so would knoppix be ideal for me based on what i said. hope this is clear.
