(The Knoppix-STD distribution is configured specifically as a
rescue CD to do almost anything you can imagine to check and fix your computer
and network.)
Servers??”A few of the powerful server projects available for Linux, many of which don??™t
require a lot of disk space: a Web server (Apache), file server (NFS), Window file/print
server (Samba), proxy server (Squid), DNS server (bind9), login server (sshd), and DHCP
server (dhcpd).
Using KNOPPIX (or any of the other bootable server Linux systems described in
Chapter 19) as a server opens some amazing possibilities for serving the data from
a Windows or other operating system to a network, while completely bypassing that operating
system on the computer??™s hard disk.
Programming tools??”A good set of tools for developing software across a variety of programming
environments.

Running KNOPPIX 11
KNOPPIX is based on Debian Linux, so a Debian user will be particularly comfortable with the
selection and organization of features. KNOPPIX software packages are also done in deb package
format, so you can use apt, dpkg, and related tools to list and otherwise manage the packages. A
graphical tool for working with software packages that comes with KNOPPIX is KPackage.
