Yeah, as ever, I can’t be satisfied with Microsoft Windows yet again.

I’ve tried 2 distributions of Linux so far, Vector and PC Linux OS, which seem to be a downward spiral and somehow or rather, I failed and went back to Windows.

Hopefully it will work OK (for the third time of my experience) and if you have any suggestions on which distro I should install on my laptop, drop me a comment …… best yet (which distro has Wine running Windows applications perfectly).

Ever get that feeling when you have so much data and suddenly one day your desktop pc or notebook computer fails to respond.

It sucks …… down on upside (reminds me of the last Soundgarden album).

Well now, we have the luxury of Knoppix Live, a linux distribution which can be a saviour to your problem.

Next question one will ask, ” I don’t have any experience in Linux, how to do?”
