Reasons ro choose Kubuntu over Knoppix?

[Raphaël Pinson]

Hi Max,

There is no possible comparison, since the aim is not the same: Knoppix is a
live CD, while Kubuntu is an installable distro.
It is possible to install Knoppix indeed, but it's its goal and it won't
work as smooth as Kubuntu when installed.

As of mp3 support and proprietary drivers, it's not hard to install them at
all, there are very good howtos on the wiki.

To sum it up: if you want to try Linux on your PC, Knoppix is great; if you
want to install it, use Kubuntu.
