Knoppix? good to start on?

i just wanna learn linux because its IS the next big thing and because Malaysia is all about piracy(not saying i support it) something free like Linux is a good thing for someone like me.

i just wanna know if it is good to start on for beginners?
i also wanna know if it is a GUI? and if i have to use any code? so i can learn some soon


im not saying all i'll use is Knoppix. i just wanna use this to ground myself with Linux. another plus point is that i dont have to install it.


past experiences with Knoppix or any other Linux distro would be appreciated

Knoppix is very good to start with, then proceed to mandrake , then redhat, and finally debian =)

I've used knoppix and it's one of the easiest distros to work with

The good thing about knoppix is that it loads from the CD and doesn't take over your HD. It is a great way to play with Linux to see if you like it.
