Horray for Knoppix. I enjoy all of the apps and games that comes with it.

I prefer Berry Linux.

It's the liveCd combine Fedora3 core and Knoppix. Improvement is a vey user friendly fast LiveCD with winXP feel. Great for wondows users who want to test drive on linux or newbie who is in the migration transition from windows.

Having used knoppix as a live cd and a hd install for over 6 months, I cannot see how anyone can compare it to pclinuxos. As far as performance and stability, PCLOS blows knoppix out of the water on the hd. Knoppix has its place and it does what it does superbly, but as an introduction to linux, it is clearly inferior to PCLOS. PCLOS has either nvidia or ati drivers working out of the box, all streaming is functional without compiling or installing anything, and the apt-get package management is every bit as good as knoppix or kanotix (kano rocks btw). those who would point to previous problems with rpm based package management obviously have not tried PCLOS. I own a small business with offices in three Texas cities and PCLOS runs on every computer and every network I own. Knoppix failed inside the first week. Seems it did not do well with an apt-get dist-upgrade...it completely broke the system.

Comparing the two is silly. Knoppix/kanotix are supurb for live and rescue cd's but just do not match the speed, choice and look of PCLINUXOS. If an old debian guy like me changes over to PCLOS, I think most everyone ought to give it a try. PCLOS is actually still in "beta"...and thats amazing because it already blows the socks off of suse RH and the latest Mandrake. If there is any fairness in the world, PCLOS will be voted distro of the year in 2005

Hi, nick, about GoblinX?? It includes Gnumeric, Gimp, many games, Kde, Xfce, and 3 more windows managers, include Mplayer, Firefox, Kmail... It includes a lot of programs... and has a special desktop environment using standarzing themes and icons... Did you test it, didn't?
It is my opinion that it deserves to appear also as Full featured Desktop, too...

[nick]

Yep, GoblinX fits.

[phredegast]

Of the choices currently listed, I'd go with Knoppix, but MEPIS would get my vote if it were there.

[nick]

I added MEPIS, it should have been there already.

KANOTIX !!

After trying quite few live-CDs I've settled down and found my home with PCLinuxOS.
For a beta product, it is very polished, has a large selection of apps that ordinary users would want, the menu is clean & well structured.
I really like the community, Synaptic / apt-get, all the Mandriva Control Center tools and the mklivecd tool is the easiest for remastering a new Live-Cd from a customised install.
Any RPMs not in the repository are only a request away.
I'm greatful for Knoppix starting it all and there are many good live-CDs that fit their niches, but PCLinuxOS is in another league.
