Hi Alex, List,

Agreed ! Knoppix is a great way to go to test Linux.

I use for my own Suse issues to run my x86 prod servers (fast install,
clean management of the dependencies, clean remote admin via OpenSSH,
fine firewall tools, very active mailing lists in about security and
oracle tasks under Suse (my prefered issues : the 8.0 pro and 8.2 pro,
8.1 Pro is not as good).

On the PPC platform, the Suse 7.3 is much as a little old and i use yet
the YellowDog 3.0, witch works perfectly out of the box, even on the ATI
Readon 7500 32 Mo based IBook 2.2.

Hope this help.
