I have been very impressed with Knoppix, and I've been using every version of Redhat since 4.2. I booted up from the Knoppix CD, hit return key at prompt. Knoppix detected all of my hardware, connected me to the internet, played startup sounds, brought up a nice graphical desktop. And it has a bunch of great software too! The Knoppix approach is a great way to get people started with linux/open source. I used to give away Redhat CD's but they were mostly wasted. People did not want to go through the multiple CD install/hard drive partition/bootloader configuration routine. I've given away some Knoppix CD's and people have been able to try out linux/open source in a fast simple and safe way. Some of these people have then gone on to do a regular linux installation. Perhaps there could be a single CD version of fedora similar to Knoppix. New users could try the software out safely, learn about it's capabilities, and then migrate to fedora core when they are ready. Some of the stateless linux work allows the creation of a live CD. |
