there is no one as righteous as the newly converted

Now, please do not get me wrong. I am still very green when it comes to Linux. But I spent the whole day in a hospital waiting room for a friend and read half of the Knoppix Hacks book by O'Reily press, and I am blown away by the power of Knoppix as a tool and all of the "Knoppix" type live cd's out there.
I have a lot to learn, but MY GOD what a tool.
