Tom's Hardware is highly impressed with the KNOPPIX live CD: "KNOPPIX is truly one of the greatest products that the open-source community has produced. As a learning tool, KNOPPIX is invaluable. If you are learning Linux, you can practice without messing up your computer. If you are a hacker, KNOPPIX provides all sorts of security, and system recovery tools. This CD, in the right hands, can cause a lot of destruction. Remember to always use your powers for good." The 6-page review starts here.

| Knoppix is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. Knoppix can be used as a Linux demo, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it.
