On The Fly: Boot Knoppix Linux, Keep Windows Installation

Posted by: Newsfactory on: 03/05/2004 05:27 PM [ Print | 2 comment(s) ] · 2823 views

Toms Hardware Guide have thrown up their look at Knoppix Linux! I got to say if you haven't used Knoppix before here's your chance to check out a great OS and did I mention it's FREE.

Given Linux' growing use and acceptance, many users want to try Linux out, but want to keep Windows installed and unblemished on their PCs as a backup. So is there a way to play with Linux and still keep Windows intact without damaging your existing OS configuration?" The Knoppix Linux distribution was created a few years ago to solve that problem.



Linux newbies can use Knoppix to play with Linux, without touching their precious hard drives. Hackers will find Knoppix extremely useful, because it contains awesome security auditing and system imaging/recovery tools. Knoppix is a great Linux tool for all skill levels, and can benefit all users.

Knoppix can be downloaded for free from KNOPPIX, and is available in either English or German language versions. After you download the ISO image, just burn it with your favorite CD Burning program (such as Ahead Nero). If you have a slow Internet connection, then you can order the CD from vendors (same link as above) for about $3 to $5 USD. In this article, Knoppix Linux version 3.3, which was released Feb 9 2004, is reviewed.

I had need to port some C code over to linux a while ago, but I didn't want to install Linux on my HD. Knoppix saved my bacon, I could boot from the CD and use a USB flash drive as a Hard disk to compile files on. Knoppix is very polished, but I still think Linux is an OS designed by geekhackers for geekhackers.

Mandrake is the best Linux distro, bar none. Version 10 is out now for members, and it kicks butt. :o)

All you need is a program like Partition Magic 8.x, and you can create a partition for Linux, and its swapfile and keep your current OS intact.

Yes, that is the way to go.
