If any one want to try Knoppix linux a live CD can be downloaded from here http://www.knoppix.org/

I have a spare CD if any one want one

This is a very good thing to have.

Even if you do not use it on a regular basis it gives you a backup bootable operating system should anything ever prevent you from booting your windows.
It provides an alternative access to your hard drive.

Here is a free little ISO recorder in case you don't have one.
