My dad is very protective for our computer. We got it for christmas last year and it was like 2500 dollars ( they got ripped off, they know absoulutley nothing about computers! ). So anyway I am getting tired of Windows and wanted to try out Linux. But like I said my dad won't let me partition the drive or get a new drive for it.

So after searching I found Knoppix.

What languages can I write in with knoppix? Does it have a C++, or Java editor/compiler?

My system is a NTSF coded, So how would I go about saving files i do on Knoppix?

edit----

I just read some more of the documentation I found this:

Q: After using KNOPPIX, my Dell computer does not start!
A: This is an issue with the Dell BIOS. Simply pull out the power cord from your computer for a few seconds, and your computer >>>!!should!!<<< start again with.
WHAT DO THEY MEAN BY SHOULD!?!
