One question, what would be the advantages of moving up another rung to full-blown Debian, rather than just doing a HD install of Knoppix?

Thanks again, for a truly amazing CD.
You get pretty much exactly the packages that you want installed when doing a Debian install but you have to configure the packages yourself if you do not like the defaults that Debian uses. There will be none of the Knoppix leftovers that can cause problems and if you ever ask question on the Debian user mailing list you will get a better reception, some of the people there seem to have an intense dislike of anything not "pure" Debian. Now it is a lot more work to get Debian on the box but at least you know where to look (Debian itself) for the source of the problems and not have to wonder if it is a leftover package that is giving you the grief.
