I have tried Knoppix many times on different machines and it simply works.  It 
comes up with a lot of things on the desktop that may be a bit daunting for 
the novice.  Then there is the bit of saving your preferences.  It works but 
you need to read a bit to do it.  

Just this weekend I downloaded Ubuntu and Kubuntu and both detected my Network 
card, just like Knoppix did, and worked fine.  The main difference from 
Knoppix was the relatively blank desktops of the ubuntu's at the start.  
Ubuntu with Gnome seemed a bit faster than Kubuntu with KDE.  

I have tried the SuSE live version but I have had less than stellar success 
with that on all my machines, although SuSE is my Distro of choice. My usual 
problem with suse is the video selection.  On the others it was automagic but 
on suse it sux'd.  I had to use sax to set up the cards.

HTH.
Richard
