Knoppix, though interesting, has an old copy of OpenOffice.org on it
(we're reaching 1.1), and it would encroach in the OOo in schools idea.

Assuming many folk have Windows based PC's, giving them Knoppix doesn't
give them something permanent. Users must get used to what they use
daily, so that later their complete change would be different.

But that said, Knoppix is great. Knoppix & OOo - 2 cd distro! But I
don't want to get carried away - getting people to help for OOo itself
will be interesting enough.

If the Knoppix idea is what is agreed upon, we could start with a 2CD
giveaway - but it starts getting more expensive. And yes, we can roll
our own version of Knoppix, but experience shows that it performs a lot
slower than the "officially" rolled versions.
