Book Review: Knoppix: Pocket Reference
Knoppix is one of the best known (if not best outright) bootable CD Linux distributions. You put the CD in the drive and you have a running Linux workstation complete with many useful administrative and security tools. O’Reilly’s Knoppix: Pocket Reference brings the many options and tools that comes with Knoppix and puts it a small book. It’s well-written, concise, and complete. It’s roughly 70 pages of highly compact information on the various cheat codes (boot settings), security uses (such as cleaning virus infected machines offline), and Knoppix specific tools like Live Installing and persistent settings across boots.
This reference is essential for any beginners to Knoppix or for advanced users who are looking for the right set of options to get what they want out of the system. It’s an invaluable desk-side companion.
