"It depends" is the definitive answer. :) Knoppix comes with utilities and 
configurations that you may find useful, like QTParted, the f-prot 
installer/updater, and other stuff I forget. Knoppix's installer and hardware 
detection are great. If you're not familiar with Debian, Knoppix is a good 
friendly introduction. If you're already a Debian guru, eh, why bother with 
Knoppix. See this knoppix forum for installation help:
