"Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions"

If you believe that your saved customizations have
become corrupted, you can always reboot KNOPPIX without them to start with a clean
KNOPPIX system again.
KNOPPIX is particularly valuable as a tool for accessing a damaged computer so that you can
troubleshoot it. With a KNOPPIX disk booted on a computer that was installed to use Microsoft
Windows or other operating system, you can use KNOPPIX to access and work with data on that
computer??™s hard disk.

Yellow Dog Linux is one of the premier Linux distributions for the
PowerPC (PPC) platform. Offered by Terra Soft Solutions (www
.terrasoftsolutions.com), Yellow Dog Linux provides unparalleled
concentration on the needs of the PowerPC users.
Because most Linux distributions focus on the Intel/AMD (x86) platform, it??™s
sometimes startling to realize that there??™s a major Linux distribution, with a
passionate community of its own, providing a strong presence in the world
of PowerPCs. Distributions such as Ubuntu provide PowerPC versions of their
releases and have dedicated PowerPC developers. Yellow Dog, however, is
solely dedicated to PowerPC and similar processors. To go after PowerPC
enthusiasts, Terra Soft Solutions tailors its Yellow Dog Linux to include the
multimedia and ease-of-use features that Apple users expect.
