Hi all;

I am new to linux and after looking for a suitable distribution to start learning, I have decided to use knoppix installed in my HD.
Looking at different distributions, I know that the linux kernel is common to everyone, but depending of the distro, I think there are certain
konsole commands that are particular to each version, for example "apt-get" for Debian, "emerge" for Gentoo and so on.
I have a book on Linux and Unix, but is there anywhere specific information about Knoppix (Debian) thant explains well the particularities of these distros???

Thanks all in advance

PD: by the way is it possible when I knew more, to recompile the kernel and programs of knoppix to convert it to my 64 bit (AMD64) platform? (Doesn work well the one in the net)

Best Regards
