It's an excellent demo that I do not hesiatate to give to windoze users
who are nagging me about 'linux being text mode' and 'having no graphics'
and being 'strange' and having 'no office applications'. Knoppix kind of
shuts them up rapidly on all these points. Also it is possible to hack (I
mean customize) knoppix so you can run about with *your* favorite apps on
a cd and use them where you want, without installing anything.
