live cds

I have tried many live linux cds and the two I like best are Knoppix and DSL (Damb Small Linux). A nice review of these is at http://www.tuxs.org/livecds.htm .

I have found they work well on lots of different machines and make great rescue disks. I also have given copies to people who may be interested in either Linux and or open software. Of the two, Knoppix has a lot more applications and is easier for a non experienced user to use because of the KDE desktop. DSL is great for really old, under powered machines. It runs, with a graphic window manager, on my old 32 meg memmory ibm pc.
