Yes, I like it better. In the past it was generally accepted as the best, and
I still like it better. Yes, that may be habit and preference. But I don't
think any reasonable person could accuse Knoppix of not being a live CD, and
I usually have to tell it to start the network. This is trivial to do, and I
like it because it means that I can set up a static connection. And it
really is exceptionally good at hardware recognition.
I frequently log on to the command line in Knoppix. But I have got a lot of
tools on the same CD. Debian tends to require that you choose what you want
to do and select the appropriate CD.
But I don't want to start a flame war. "My distro is better that your distro
so yah, boo!" Each to his or her own. That is what I like so much about
Linux, or rather, FLOSS in general. You get to choose!! I am not required
to fit into a one-size-fits-all mold.
