Kanotix Live CD makes Debian simple

Because it's a LiveCD you can try out Kanotix without having to worry about losing the information stored on your hard drives. You can take Kanotix with you wherever you go if you want instant access to a GNU/Linux operating system. All that you have to do is insert the CD and reboot (some users may also have to set their BIOS to boot from the CD drive). Unlike Knoppix, Kanotix uses the latest Debian/sid packages. The newest ISO of Kanotix includes Linux 2.6.6 compared to the 2.4 series found on Knoppix, and many of the desktop applications are similarly updated. Kanotix also includes Captive for improved NTFS read/write capabilities.
