Go, Tom!

Knopix is very cool.   Boot a real live useful, X-Window system/KDE 
workstation from a CDROM without touchy a hair on the chinny-chin-chin
of your precious hard drive.   It's an actual useful distro on a CDROM.
You can burn your own additional CDROM or use a floppy with it for 
persistant data.

It's a NICE portable toolset.  Much lighter than a laptop.  It sits in my 
briefcase, taking up no room, but adding a sense of studly empowerment,
on those days when toting a full-function laptop seems unreasonable.

This guy (Klaus Knopper ) is really talented (or maybe just insanely 
dedicated, or both).   It's a wonder why this hasn't been done  before, 
but there were a lot of fiddly technical hurdles.    A lot.  He deserves 
accolades.
