[Deaf-lug] Linux Virgin

[Thomas Mulloy]

Hi all, 
   
  Thought I'd add my contribution.
   
  I have only tried Knoppix (Live CD) and found it to be real user-friendly especially during my university years in C + Unix Systems programming. However, the inability to connect online have always deterred me from using it, hence not using it ever since. I use wi-fi broadband.
   
  Perhaps, the newest version of Knoppix consists of updated drivers to recognise the internet access via wi-fi?
   
  Cheers,

yes they do

But it did not work for me.
Don't know because Debain installed in other partition caused Ubunto
not to work but it did not work for me. Did this last night so I am
going to have another go tonight by removing Debian and just have
windows then install Ubunto.
