Re: Good Debian-based distro
I agree,
Koppix does a great job of hardware detection and system configuration. This is one thing that tends to scare off linux neophites. Getting this *right* is very important IMHO, and Knoppix is a big step in the right direction in that respect. The second one is keeping the system up to date, that I _know_ Debian is great at, as far a Knoppix is concerned, I would expect that givent that the /etc/apt/sources.list is Debian based, that it should be the same.
cheers
