Finally, a version of Linux that works!

[Denver Dave]

Running Knoppix does seem to run the basic OS on the most PCs that I've tried. I've just started with Knoppix, so will take a while to get used to it, but seems to take more terminal code than GUI than some others that I've tried. Not sure if this is good or bad, if the code is concise.

Knoppix 6.7 seems to run the same on my Windows 7 laptop, XP desktop and an old windows something box that I have that can't read a USB, but Knoppix CD runs - impressive.

I used linux on all of my pcs and laptops since there was knoppix 3.2 after some trials with suse and redhat
Key point to switch was the successful help of dd_rescue on a damaged harddisk system, that ran important software in WinNT.
some generations of PCs an Laptops worked fine since then. Actually my 980g Asus Netbook. And since 4 years there is no win software anymore in my household installed. I feel perfect to trial out new hardware in our big red loud consumer supply store using usb bootsticks.
Beeing impressed and happy by the growing performance from version to version.
