Don't get me wrong, I love Knoppix. It is wonderful, from a users point of
view.
However, when you try to change stuff in knoppix (I'm not talking about merely
changing the packages, but on changing the background, changing the
bootscreen, changing the scripts in order to change the name "Knoppix" to
something else, and so forth), then, you will see how ugly knoppix is built.
Nothing is standardized, nothing is modularized and nothing is reuseable, I
am just glad that comments in the scripts are atleast in english.
Cheers
