    I don't believe it!

    Knoppix is the only distro that works with my Centrino laptop. I just could not believe it. Have tried Mandrake10, susie(total crap), Redhat9 and Fedora. None of them found my Wan network card.
    Using a Packard Bell E5.
    Fantastic.

    That's nice to hear. It is reported that Kanotix also has excellent Centrino support.

    I Hear Ya!

    On my highly overclocked Celeron 1300 (up to 1696 mhz)

    I tried Xandros. Could never find my serial mouse correctly and was buggy has hell Also very slow.
    Simply Mepis also could not find neither my serial mouse or a PS/2 mouse on the live CD
    Mandrake - forget it.

    Knoppix found everything and everything worked, well except for my old Aureal sound card. I ditched that. Put in a Sound Blaster Live card.

    I installed it to my HD to dual boot with XP

    Go Knoppix!!!!

    It's revolutionary. The live CD is an install CD and the install CD morphs into a rescue CD. It's amazing!!!

    I don't know about Knoppix but, yes, Kanotix is great for laptop use. I run it on an IBM T40.
