Basically this means that you boot your computer from the Knoppix CD and it runs Linux, but *WITHOUT* installing it on your hard-drive. Everything runs in memory, and Linux disappears from your system as soon as you reboot (assuming you remove the CD of course). The advantage of this is that you can test Linux and get a feel for what a modern distribution is like without going through the installation process. Knoppix is probably the best "Live CD" version of Linux because it has the best hardware recognition. Knoppix is available from http://www.knoppix.org/ Knoppix is originally a German product, but it's available in several languages, including English. Andrew
