For the record, Ubuntu Feisty couldn't start X, and Knoppix 4 couldn't 
find the hard drive.  Knoppix 5.1 did everything perfectly.

Mostly unrelated, I've typically used live cds to scrape data off of old 
dead machines, which are typically pretty slow.  Knoppix was REALLY snappy 
on a high end 64bit proc with 2G of ram.
