Now all we need is a Knoppix distro that loads automatically onto a demonstration Xbox at your nearest major retailer!

Oh the fun you could have especially if your playing on a big screen surrounded by huge Xbox signage!

I think you need to fix your redirect script. I have clicked on your link multiple times and not gotten to goatse, tubgirl, lemonparty, etc. once.

Thats why they call them Best Lie.

This Koppix looks like a good way for a hacker to go around taking over computers. In this age of terrorism, an attacker taking over computers at an airport, traffic light control center, or water treatment plant, could be especially dangerous. I hope the developers have put in appropriate safety measures to prevent this from happening.

Yeah, they've thought of that and built in a safety mechanism. On bootup, it asks the user whether they are Evil or not. If they say yes, it just powers down.

I wonder what sort of data you could steal from store PCs with Knoppix and a USB storage device?

h3llo this isa test of word...

You mean Dungeons and Dragons is a system administration tool also?! Dang! Just when I thought I knew something.... Good thing slashdot is here to correct that....

Oww, you mean the command dd..... right.... I knew that....

I imagine stores that show computers like this have had to deal with their fair share of people trying to break the system.

I used to manage a Tandy store in Australia (Radio Shack for yanks). It seemed to me that some peoples favorite past time was to see how screwed they could make a pc.

Personally, I would have loved to have had a few Knoppix CD's on hand. I would have glued them into the CD-ROM and set the PC to boot CD only. Would have saved me hours of reloading Windows from the stupid compaq restore CD's

I would be suprized if any of the salespeople noticed.

There seems to be a copy of Doug Gwyn's Adventure Shell here [splode.com]. It seems to date from 1986, back when we actually used text to communicate with Unix machines.
