Knoppix, http://knopper.net/knoppix finds all the
hardware, and comes up ready to access the internet...
I use Knoppix as my hardware test demo. I go to a
store, and they don't know if Linux will run on a
certain processor, mainboard, sound and video card
combo, and get to the internet, I just stick in the
CDrom, and boot! It finds everything in about 30
seconds, and comes up, even with the Internet working!
Any conflicts are tagged! Then, if it is OK, I can go
to http://pricewatch.com and get all those pieces to
build it at the right price!
