New Loaded Knoppix on my Linux box last night....
From the CDROM.

I wrote down all the "auto-identified" devices on the back of an envelope. I was surprised how few there really were.

I was expecting layer upon layer of drivers (kind of like Windows), but it identified just enough to put on the back of an envelope.

The list appears to be almost identical to the one I originally used to install RedHat, but I can't remember how long ago that was. Was that RH 5.1? or 6.0?

At some point RH autodetected everything, and Linux installation got a lot easier.

One surprise was that Knoppix did not detect my parallel port Zip drive. But, to be fair, I dont' thing RedHat did, either. To get it to work, I usually have to insmod on a ppa module.

I guess with my "envelope" list, I'll proceed with installing Debian tonight.
