... and many of us are grateful it did. Why do I have to go through 3 or more CDs and several complicated configuration options to get a basic OS and tools that get the job done? Basic job = web use, email, chat, IM (multiple accounts/protocols), graphic manupulation (beyond basic), multimedia (including CD ripping and burning), digital cameras support, office documents and a few good games.

My last attempt with a commercial distribution was SuSE 9x. You had to be a *nix guru if you wanted everything to run properly.

With Knoppix, you can get up and running in 1 hour, 2 if you a HD install. This includes networking, shared printers and HD in a Windows network.
