KNOPPIX CD to check computer's linux compatibility?

[alex <radsky@ncia.net>]

This is followup to my previously posted 'Integrated video and 
audio-OK for Linux?'

What I'm looking for is a way to run quick compatibility checks 
with a KNOPPIX CD on display computers in computer stores, 
something that could be done in a matter of a few minutes per 
computer.

I'd prefer to use terminal commands to do quick checks just to 
see if a computer is fully compatible with Linux.  However, this 
doesn't exclude an Xwindows approach if there is one.

Any suggestions?
