I was just wondering, what is it with the avatars? I have never used any in the forums that I sign up for. Just wondering if it is a way to express yourself or just something to do?

Linux is just better than Windows, for me. ;)

Knoppix is a great idea and works well. Slax-Live CD is another good one that I use at work and school. You do have to remember that these live distros will run slower on you machine than a hardrive...
