Also realize that I'll use Knoppix for a little over one week, and I dont think it can hurt being that I have no experience with Linux or the like. I'm not gonna jump right into customizing off bat anyway, Knoppix might actually be pretty wholesome since it has all the internal commands I need.... Well, that I want too.
