Hey all - brand new to this forum as well as a Linux n00b. I decided on Knoppix because of the Live CD feature, and I've searched around for a topic on my question, but it wasn't really about my question.

I want to use http://www.virtualbox.org to run Knoppix. Another thread discussed having used VMWare to run same, but that doesn't really address my issue. Does anyone have a quick answer to getting started with Knoppix using VirtualBox? I guess my question is are there any issues that I should be aware of before loading up VB and then running Knoppix as the guest?

I have a P1.75 Ghz/Win2k box with 512mb RAM, which, should be more than enough to run Knoppix as the guest. But I don't want to hose my system screwing around with Linux distros, either. And while I do have a laptop, it is way too problematic because of the very nature of laptops. Probably a whole lot easier to just use the desktop for screwing around with Linux distros running as guests on virtual machines.
