Knoppix Boots Faster Than XP

(1/2) > >>

anphanax:
On my computer, knoppix boots faster than Windows XP Pro (667 Mhz Celeron). I think that's pretty interesting considering how it boots from the CD.. (also how XP just gives me a blank screen for like 4 minutes before going to the login, and yes, thats after the logo shows, i don't have that disabled)

erosnemesis:
WHen i still used windows i also got that big blank screen for like 2-5 minutes but now that i use RedHat linux 9.0 i never have problems. And by the way, where did you get knoppix?

Windows_SuX_@$$:
Yes, Knoppix is great (I got it on my HD    )

TB:
I too think Knoppix is surprisingly speedy for an OS that runs off CD.....unfortunately my MoBo's onboard sound isnt supported and I get that annoying sound glitch. I've been meaning to save up for a proper soundcard (any recommendations for something that wont cause any problems???).....but that's kinda hard being unemployed. Ho hum. Guess I'll have to wait.

hm_murdock:
if you can find it, the SoundBlaster 16 PCI is a damn good deal. I got mine like three years ago for $35

I think they're about $15 now. it was supported by Red Hat 5 and 6, so it'll work
