FallowEarth Posted January 24, 2006 CID Share Posted January 24, 2006 What is knoppix? Knoppix makes a live version of linux, meaning you can boot to it from cd without installing it on your HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted Posted January 24, 2006 CID Share Posted January 24, 2006 Knoppix makes a live version of linux, meaning you can boot to it from cd without installing it on your HD. i have that and its pretty cool to use it to learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructable Posted January 24, 2006 CID Share Posted January 24, 2006 Yea, it really is pretty cool, i use the DVD version, 4.0.2 (as i said) to be exact, and it's pretty cool. I'm currently running (i have DVD's of both 4.0.1 and 4.0.2) 4.0.2 on an HP with a dead HDD, and 4.0.1 on an AMD Duron mobo without a HDD (died also). Knoppix autodetects everything. Internet, USB, 1394 Firewire, etc, etc...really cool... If you want to try it out (i'm sure you do now!! ) just head over to www.knoppix.com and download a copy for yourself. Please let me note: It never touches your hard drive! So, all you have to do is start the pc with the cd or dvd inserted into the drive, and your computer will boot into a completely different operating system (Linux-KDE desktop by default) COMPLETELY OFF THE CD!!. When your done, you don't (really) even have to properly turn it off. Anyway, i highly encourage everyone to check it out, knoppix is cool!

Dark_Matter Posted January 24, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 24, 2006 Knoppix if i remember correctly is based off of debian linux, and is nice for those thinking about taking the plunge, and actually installing linux. I've been running linux off my computers for years about 9 years total with running, and installing linux. I can say the majority of people who fianlly do take the plunge never look back with regret. SUSE Linux also makes a bootable cd of it's distro of linux it's pretty choice also. http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richcornucopia Posted January 25, 2006 CID Share Posted January 25, 2006 You might need to change the boot order in your bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted January 25, 2006 CID Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hey pitbull - you need to download the live iso and burn that to CD. SUSE Linux Live is the one that is bootable from CD. The other ones you will need to load to a seperate partition and set up your PC for a dual boot set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will give you a good taste of Linux without having to load it to your hard disk. All you do is stick it in your cd drive and re-boot (assuming that your BIOS is set to boot to the cd rom before the hard disk). It is not the full blown SUSE Linux OS, but it is hard to tell the difference. Try Live first, then if you like tinkering with it you can download full versions and load it to a spare PC or set your primary PC up to dual boot.

Raistlin666 Posted January 26, 2006 CID Share Posted January 26, 2006 When you first read the article I would have done the same thing, I mean he was probably in shock from the stupidness of the site. Whats sad is thats there are is probably someone out there that thinks that. I wonder if their kids are suicidal? Also I never new Linux was made by soviets. does that mean we are all communists?

resijs Posted January 26, 2006 CID Share Posted January 26, 2006 i gotta download this one than right "SUSE LINUX - SuSE 9.1 live-eval"? There exists a full version free SUSE that I used to use, there's not much of a difference I don't think. But really, I'd just use DSL. ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
