Are you MAD ? Knoppix features brilliant hardware detection, compression 
technologies and a solid set of apps
that have done more to introduce linux to new users than any other distro.
With a knoppix disc and a USB keydrive you could sit down at almost any 
machine and fire up a rich and solid computing environment.
If it's too slow, you can easily install it to HD, if the bundled apps 
don't suit your use, you can easily remaster with your choices.
With that same disk you could transform your office lan into an 
OpenMosix cluster in under half an hour.
As a rescue disc, it has pulled my cherries out of the fire more times 
than I care to mention, for both Windoze and linux boxen.

get ahold of yourself man !
