It's not a question of the secret police.  If someone wants to install
knoppix, that's fine, it's a free country (well it is here anyway), go
ahead and do it.

But, be aware that knoppix is not debian (repeat: *knoppix* *is* *not*
*debian*), so, if you're using a knoppix distro, a considerate practice
would be to post to the knoppix mailing list(s).
