I downloaded the Knoppix one last night and it's quite nice-worked straight away, only took about 2 minutes to load, and with a bit of 'mounting', I soon had access to my hard drives It's a couple of years since I last dabbled with Linux, and I was surprised to see how much 'easier' things seemed to be, and how easy it was to set up network connections..etc. Are Windows missing out on an untapped market here?
