Using Knoppix on the hard disk means no security updates, a system only
upgradable to unstable, and a lot of possible problems for beginners.
There are other Debian based distributions that are easy to install,
have support by the distributor and are a much better choice for hard
disk installations. No one will be shot for using Knoppix on his hard
disk, but it is not the best idea to recommend it to newbies. I think
there are better Debian based distributions for them. And let's not
forget about distros like Mandrake and SuSE, that offer a lot more than
Knoppix, and are also easy to install and use.
