Knoppix is pretty slick! I actually tinkered with it last week. Someone at work needed to recover some files from a dead Windows XP install and I burned it for them. I burned myself the DVD version. I was impressed that it worked instantly with all my hardware and connected to the wireless network (I'm not sure) at work with no credentials. It simply WORKED with almost no action on my part!

I am finding new things to love about Ubuntu daily. Yesterday, I was renaming a jpg. In windows, I had to manually highlight everything behind the extension, in Ubuntu, I press F2 to rename and everything behind the file extension is highlighted by default! I just had to type in the new name and press enter. SLICK!

This is one of those things where you say, "Why didn't someone think of this earlier?" So intuitive!

Just an update: I've been using Ubuntu for two months straight and have loaded it on my parent's desktop, my brother's desktop, my wife's laptop and my buddy's PS3.

Ubuntu is awesome!

I'm going to download the latest beta of PCLinux and play around with it next time I'm bored. I'm just going to run it within VirtualBox for the heck of it. I intend on keeping Ubuntu until I find something that is superior! I doubt that will be anytime soon!

I currently run XP for photoshop, and RHEL5 for everything else. I also have Ubuntu loaded on another partition...I have a live disk of Ubuntu too...that is pretty cool
