In my continuing search for an easy way to run Linux, I found Knoppix Linux which allows you to run a complete graphical and fully functioning version of Linux from a CD. This is a great way to get a feel for it without the commitment of actually installing it on a hard drive. Plus, if you like it, you can actually install it onto a hard drive. The only problem I am having is with the network card not working correctly. The sound, video, etc… all work great. It even has the latest Python version on it (although it lacks wxPython). There is also supposedly a way to store configuration files on a USB or floppy drive, although I haven’t figured that out completely.
