Off Topic: Run Linux off a cd!

[TomMoorehouse]

This is soo cool! I just can't help myself! I found a linux distribution that runs totally off a cd! you dont have to install anything. i'm not talking about a dual boot or anything like that. just put the cd in the drive, and restart your computer. it will boot from the cd and you will be running linux totally off the cd! it works perfectly for me.... i did not have to configure anything!

i'm totally excited about this. I was missing my linux a lot..... i had the server and a workstation both running windows and it was great for something s but linux is a lot better at others! so now i can have both!

you have to try this out if you have the smallest wanting to try linux... nothing to install, does not hurt your computer at all! when your done take the cd out and restart and your back to the way it was...

the just download the iso file and burn it .... totally free!

here is the web page about it: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html

download it from here real fast server! ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix/KNO...-10-2002-EN.iso

uhhh well it's not that cool.... but keep in mind when you run it, it is like a full installed mandrake or red hat. it has a huge ammount of programs. like 2 full office suites, games, image editing, chat, mozilla, apache..... a ton of stuff.... even supported my $20 digital camera!

you can buy a copy from here for a whopping $3.49 http://www.linuxcd.org/

or maybe you could talk me in to it
