I just use Knoppix as a hard disk operating
system on my laptop, and as a rescue dvd. I
hated Vista, Slackware wasn't handy to set up
with my wireless router, Knoppix was the
solution for my laptop. I consider it to be the
handiest member of the Debian family. So sue
me :<)
If you use Knoppix my way as a HD OS you just
save files the usual way.
