How about we start a Linux thread?
The Linux forums are waaayyy too slow to respond to questions, and I trust you "dark side" escapees much more.
So, for the sake of starting this thread, I just wanted to say I downloaded and am currently typing on Knoppix 3.6 - the latest available from Knoppix's public FTPs. A 3.7 version is out, but I can't find it anywhere online.
Anyway, I downloaded the 700mb 3.6 release in record time - 90 minutes using broadband.

And it comes complete with wireless capability: even for my overtly proporietory IBM embedded wireless system.
You guys should check into Knoppix. It's very sweet. It also includes a new version of Office.org.
I was looking into Mepis (sp?) but for some reason
their ftp site is on the fritz.
So how's your Linux running these days?
