I'm pretty sure your version and mine would look different, Bill.

I suspect your version of Knoppix would have had a KDE3 desktop... I think they changed over to the lighter LXDE as the default with version.

KDE has changed too btw - current is the KDE4.X series (of which the first were lousy. 4.4 is reliable here but when they released 4.0, I'd suggest it still was an alpha rather than a release version, maybe 4.2 reached beta stage...)

You'd only pay my plane tickets? I'd at least want food and accommodation. I'd would do an exchange with the Linux. I'll sort that out in exchange for you teaching me (not that I believe for a minute I could be taught) how to turn wood. ;-)
