knoppix is a cd-bootable linux OS that doesn’t need to be installed on your hard drives. the good thing about this OS is, it’s open-source, meaning you don’t have to pay or buy one. just download an image file then burn it on a cd, and voila! you already have an instant bootable linux OS.

it also comes with several desktop applications like open-office, media player, browsers and even games. it can easily detect commonly-used hardware devices.

we’ve maximized the use of knoppix some time ago when our desktop’s hard-drive started malfunctioning, and without a working hard-drive, we still can use our desktop pc for emails and browsing, word processing and printing. even my son and eldest daughter were having fun with its games.
