This is pretty cool. I downloaded and burned a live CD system of Linux
called Knoppix,

and I'm posting right now from it in Mozilla running in KDE. It has
tons of software- koffice, gimp, mozilla, emacs, vim, abiword,
kdevelop, games, etc. (but open office is with German menus), and it
seems like it could be the mother of all rescue disks, as well as a good
way to show people a bit of linux without destroying their (windows) system.
Once it boots there is a Knoppix entry in the KDE menu that lets you
configure printer, networking, ssh server, etc. I just typed in a few
ip addresses and then bam networking was up and running and mozilla was
working. You should have 128 mb or more for kde, or 16mb for command
line mode.
