Knoppix is Linux

If you want to see what linux can do get this, burn it and run it.. Its called Knoppix, which is a live cd with over 2 gigs of free software all on 1 cd. It doesn't require installation, so you can just restart your system, boot from cd-rom and go. I put it on my laptop and it recognized all the hardware and I was up and going in like 5 minutes. The cool thing is there are so many different adaptations and flavors. Just give it a try..
