What is KNOPPIX?

Quote from http://knopper.net/knoppix:

KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux (http://www.linux.com/) software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphic cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a Linux demo, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk.

System Requirements

Before booting LinuxDefender, you must first verify if your system meets the following requirements.

Processor type - x86 compatible, minimum 166 MHz, but do not expect a great performance in this case. An i686 generation processor, at 800MHz, would make a better choice.

Memory - The minimum accepted value is 64MB, recommended is 128MB, for a better performance.

CD-ROM - LinuxDefender runs from a CD-ROM, therefore a CD-ROM and a BIOS capable to boot from it is required.

Internet connection - Although LinuxDefender will run with no Internet connection, the update procedures will require an active HTTP link, even through some proxy server. Therefore, for an up to date protection, the Internet connection is a MUST.

Graphical resolution - A graphical resolution of 800x600 at least is recommended for the web-based administration.
