No to Ubuntoo Yes To Knoppix
In my prevoius post Ubuntu or Knopix I had mentiond 2 live Linux CDs. One is Ubuntu and second is Knoppix. I tried both and found some thing very interesting. Ubuntu can be ordered freely from its website and they will ship you n number of live and install CDs of 32 bit and 64 bit architecture.
Knoppix is not like that. You need to Purchase a CD or download it from some mirror. I downloaded. Burned the CD and used it. My Opionion.
Ubuntu is good. B’coz
- Its free.
- Free means they ship the CD for free. Knoppix is not shipped freely.
- Free means you copy the CD and distribute it
- You get Live and Install CDs. No install CD for Knoppix but the Knoppix forum can help you with install.
- You can have 32 bit and 64 bit versions. I was not able to loacte 64 bit version of Knoppix.
- It has got a GUI. The GUI is Gnome based.
- Like all other Live Linus CDs it will detect your hardware.
Knoppix is BEST. B’coz
- Its free.
- Free means you copy the CD and distribute it
- It has got a GUI. The GUI is KDE based.
- Like all other Live Linus CDs it will detect and install nearly all of your hardware stuff. It easily found nearly every thing on one of old (Junked) Dell Latitude Laptop. The laptop is more than 6 years old. Ubuntu failed this test.
- It will automount your Hard drive. Reboot machine and start palying MP3s.
- Got loads of apps in just one CD. 900 Preinstalled and more than 2000 more apps. Just on 700MB. Amazing.
If you need Knoppix just give me a blank CD and I will be more than Happy to burn a copy for you.
I will go by Knoppix. Knoppix have more intutive GUI. More apps. You can show people what Linux is by just a simple reboot. I have been using Knoppix as a rescue diskette. Just few days back a MS Windows 98 Machine crashed. The machine did not reboot. The guy wanted a fresh system. By chance I was there and got to show them what is Linux.
