Yes, I believe it is. It's far different to say "all Linux (in fact all opertaing stystems) can have problems", than saying that Knoppix is primarily a Live CD and some of the choices that went into making the Live CD are known to cause problems when it is installed to a hard disk. I know of absolutely no good reason to install Knoppix rather than a distro intended for hard disk install like Debian etch. Since the installer is free to install all of the application included in Knoppix into Debian etch as well, there is no upside to fighting with the known problems of Live CD installed into a world where it does not belong. If you feel that you want to fight those problems, go right ahead. But new users should be cautioned about the problems praticularly when there are much better alternatives, rather than just told to install Knoppix.
