There was some nvidia graphics card in there - too new to be in the SuSE 8.2 lscpi list. Knoppix should have no problems handling a 14" LCD screen, but problems handling the card can be sufficient to cause a negative end result. > i am pretty sure xterms/konsole start with green or cyan on black > background wheneverI have used it, and thats readable. xterms maybe, konsole not, at least not always (might depend on where you start itfrom). I saw it! The prompt text was dead close to illegible. Anyway, the default graphics and some of the colours are there to impress, not to convince anyone into serious office deployment. All that can be changed. The bottom line is, it's very handy to have around, but personally I find the hype over the top.
