'''Mikael Renberg''' (born [[May 5]], [[1972]], in [[Piteå]], [[Sweden]]) is a [[Swedish people|Swedish]] professional [[ice hockey]] player, currently with [[Skellefteå AIK]] in the Swedish elite league [[Elitserien]].
 
==Playing career==
[[Image:Knoppix-3.6en.png|thumb|480px|Knoppix 3.6 running [[Konqueror]] and [[Netris]]]]
Renberg began his [[National Hockey League]] career with the [[Philadelphia Flyers]], who drafted him 40th overall in the [[1990 NHL Entry Draft]]. He played with them for four seasons before being traded to the [[Tampa Bay Lightning]] for [[Chris Gratton]]; two seasons later the teams would virtually undo the trade, sending him back to Philadelphia for two more years. He was traded to the [[Phoenix Coyotes]] in exchange for [[Rick Tocchet]] during the [[1999-2000 NHL season]]. He returned to Sweden to play for [[Luleå HF]] for one season and returned to the NHL by signing with the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]]. After three seasons in Toronto, Renberg once again returned to play for [[Luleå HF]].
 
In Philadelphia he became popular with fans for playing on the feared "Legion of Doom" line with [[John LeClair]] and [[Eric Lindros]], and helped the team to the [[1997 Stanley Cup Finals]], where they were swept in four games by the [[Detroit Red Wings]].
The popularity of Knoppix is due many factors. Its extensive hardware detection allows the majority of systems to boot straight into a graphical environment without the necessity to do manual configuration. It connects automatically to most kinds of [[network]], and includes software both for use as a computer system (notably [[web browser]]s, [[OpenOffice.org]], and the [[Gimp]]) and for system repair. The complete graphical environment and networking make it much more comfortable for system administrators to work with when repairing systems whose hard drives won't boot than the previous generation of [[boot floppy|boot floppies.]]
 
==Awards==
The current version, Knoppix 3.6, was released on [[August 23]], [[2004]], and features [[KDE]] 3.2.3, [[Linux kernel]] versions 2.4.27 and 2.6.7, [[OpenOffice.org]] 1.1.1, [[The GIMP]] 2.0 and improved hardware detection.
* Gold medal at the Junior European Championships in 1990.
* Named to the World Championships All-Star Team in 1993.
* Awarded the [[Pelle Lindbergh Memorial]] (Most Improved Player - [[Philadelphia Flyers]]) in 1994.
* Named to the [[NHL All-Rookie Team]] in 1994.
* Awarded the [[Yanick Dupre Memorial]] {Class Guy Award - [[Philadelphia Flyers]]) in 1995.
* Awarded the Viking Award (Top Swedish player in the [[NHL]]) in 1995.
* Gold Medal at the World Championships in 1998.
* Awarded the [[Golden Puck]] (Elitserien Player of the Year) in 2001.
* He was inducted into the [[Piteå Wall of Fame]] in [[2006]].
 
==UsageRecords==
* [[Philadelphia Flyers]]' franchise record for most points in a season by a rookie, 82 (1993-94)
Knoppix has a wide variety of [[free software]]. There are more than 900 software packages included. Up to 2 [[gigabyte]]s can be stored on the CD in [[data compression|compressed]] form. When a program is used, it is decompressed into a [[RAM drive]]. The decompression is [[transparency (computing)|transparent]] and [[on-the-fly]]. Knoppix recommends at least 128 mb of [[RAM]] in order to accomodate this RAM drive.
* Scored 200th NHL career point with an assist vs [[Vancouver Canucks]] (December 1, 1996)
 
* Scored 100th NHL career goal vs [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] (February 16, 1997)
Unlike most Linux distributions, it does not require a [[hard drive]] [[installation]]; the system can [[boot]] from a single 700 [[megabyte]] [[Compact disc]]. One needs a bootable CD or [[DVD-ROM]] drive to start Knoppix from a CD. In order to start the CD/DVD, it may be necessary to enter the BIOS Setup of your computer and select the CD drive before the hard drive or floppy drive in the boot order. Insert the CD and restart the computer.
 
Knoppix may also be installed on the [[hard drive]] using an installation [[script (computer programming)|script]]. However, the hard disk installation is recommended only for advanced users, since Knoppix is meant for use from the CD. The installation script is "knoppix-installer" from Knoppix 3.3 onward, or "knx-hdinstall" previously. Use caution since this may affect other disk partitions and requires enough advanced knowledge to create partition space for Linux and Linux-swap partitions.
 
As a [[LiveCD]], any documents or settings a user creates disappear upon reboot. This lack of permanence for anything a user does is a strength of Knoppix in some areas, but makes it necessary to save any documents explicity to a hard drive partition or over the network. Another possibility to save data is to store a user's [[home directory]] on a [[removable medium]], such as a USB [[thumbdrive]]. By carrying a Knoppix CD and a USB thumbdrive with them, a user can have the same environment, programs, settings, and data available on every computer they may use. However, this approach does not allow the installation of additional applications, which would require a hard drive installation.
 
There are different possible uses of the Knoppix live CD:
*an introduction to Linux, especially as a [[desktop]] operating system
*[[advocacy]] or demonstration at conferences
*in-store testing whether a computer system is [[compatible]] with Linux before purchasing it
*restoring a defunct system or some of its data
*running a [[firewall]] or [[router]]
*[[bootstrapping]] a [[Debian]] (or other Linux) installation
 
==Highlights==
*[[KDE]], the default [[desktop]]
*X Multimedia System ([[XMMS]]), with [[MPEG]] video, [[MP3]] audio, and [[Ogg Vorbis]] audio support
*[[Internet access]] software [[KPPP]] and [[Integrated Services Digital Network|ISDN]] utilities.
*[[Konqueror]], the [[web browser]], and [[Kmail]], the default email client.
*[[CD burner]] [[K3b]].
*[[GNU]] Image Manipulation Program ([[GIMP]]).
*Tools for data rescue and system repair.
*Network analysis and administration tools.
*[[OpenOffice.org]], the [[GPL]]'ed version of the well-known StarOffice [[office suite]].
*Many programming languages, development tools (e.g. [[KDevelop]]), as well as libraries for software developers
 
==Graphic cards==
The [[graphics card]] [[device driver]] is very important in using this distribution as it relies on a [[Graphical user interface]], although most expert users can make use of the [[command line interface]]. If your graphic card does not work, it may be that it is new (or exotic) and is not in the knoppix hardware database yet. New cards will usually work under Linux, but they may have to be run using a generic driver.
 
== Languages ==
 
To set a language other than the default (CDs are available with either German or English as the default language), type your language abbreviation at the boot prompt. For english, one would type:
 
'''knoppix language=en'''
 
==Variations==
The [[Gnoppix]] project uses a modified form of Knoppix with [[GNOME]] as the default [[desktop environment]].
 
[http://bofh.be/clusterknoppix/ ClusterKnoppix] is a distribution based on Knoppix using the [[Linux Terminal Server Project]] and [[openMosix]]. It is a convenient way to try out [[Computer cluster|clustering]].
 
[http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html Quantian] is a Knoppix-like CD geared towards science, based on clusterKnoppix.
 
Knoppix STD (security tools distribution) is a customized distribution of Knoppix that focuses on computer security tools. It includes [[GNU General Public License|GPL]] licensed tools in the following categories: [[authentication]], [[password cracking]], [[encryption]], [[forensics]], [[firewalls]], [[honeypot]]s, [[intrusion detection system]], [[network utilities]], [[Penetration]], [[Packet sniffer]]s, [[Assembler]]s, [[vulnerability assessment]] and [[Wireless network]]ing.
 
[[Kurumin]] is a Brazilian distribution based on Knoppix (with support for the English language) that fits on a [[Mini-cd]]. It includes standard desktop applications, documentation and an e-book that introduces users to Linux.
 
[[Kanotix]] Linux [[LiveCD]] is based on KNOPPIX. The included XFree86 4.3 is from Debian/experimental.
 
[http://www.whitehat.co.il/whknoppix WHoppiX], whose name is a combination of [[Whitehat]] and Knoppix, is another distribution designed for security tasks. Customized by an [[Israeli]] security consultant, this distribution makes it possible to verify the security of a network from many different computers and places.
 
There are other Linux demo CDs: [[SuSE]] and [[Slackware]] distribute live evaluation CDs, [[Coollinux]], [[DemoLinux]], [[Mandrakelinux|Mandrake]], [[Morphix]] and [[Gnoppix]] all have similar purposes to Knoppix. There are also full desktop-oriented distributions based on Debian, notably [[Linspire]] (formerly Lindows), [[Xandros]] and [[Libranet]].
 
[[Hispalinux]] has an ongoing project, [[Metadistros]], to enable the easy creation of customized Knoppix-like Linux live CDs with an easy installation on the hard disk.
 
[[Damn Small Linux]], [[Feather Linux]] and [[Flonix]] are Linux LiveCDs that are very small, mostly under 50MB in size, but fairly robust and desktop-oriented nonetheless.
