All about Knoppix

If you are out of disk space, and still want to run Linux, Knop­pix is a pretty decent choice. My expe­ri­ences with the truth.

I'm also using Knop­pix as my main
Linux oper­at­ing sys­tem now, because I ran out of room on my hard drive for
Man­drake. Knop­pix runs off a CD, and I use the extra space on my backup drive as
a per­sis­tent home direc­tory so that files and set­tings are saved each time.

It won't be long before it is easy enough for mere mor­tals to href="http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixProjects">remaster their own
cus­tom Knop­pix CDs, loaded with appli­ca­tions tar­geted for spe­cific
audi­ences, maybe even as spe­cific as a class of stu­dents. There are already
dozens of href="http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixCustomizations">Knoppix
customizations, includ­ing href="http://www.ofset.org/projects/edusoft/edusoft.html">educational,
med­ical, and sci­en­tific
ver­sions. Pretty cool!
