hello i am new to lynux and my friend sugested to get knoppix to get my feet wet and see if i like it. being over caution i have decided to do some resarch first and i found this forum exstremly helpful but i do have a few question if someone dont mind helping out.
1. i am currently stealing internet contetcion of my dad cable line through a local network with out him knowing about it is this still possible?
2. i will be using this for my school work and was worried about what kind of word process and spread sheet program that is in cluded with lynux
3. i also was wondering if it suported dvd-RW?
3b if it does can one add more software and boot form dvd
3c if this is possibly could one boot without closing the cd so it can be chaged and personlised a little more at each boot
4. this is probly a dumb question but like i said i new what kind of programing lang. does lynux use

thanks for you help
