Knoppix is for all those who have ever wondered if there is a way one could carry around an operating system in their pocket and make it work from any computer and no matter what virus you caught, just by rebooting your system it would be gone, not just a virus but any form of spyware or virus, rootkit and the countless other bugs which destroy a business work enviorment on a daily basis? Well look no further than Knoppix which can run without a hard drive.
It's a superb book which we at the PC Repairs London have found something we could not do without. The book breaks down all the features as well as teachs you how to use them.
If you are in the field of engineering this is a disk all your customers should have as you can still access the internet even when windows needs to be Repaired
This book has 395 pages with well written positive tried and tested projects and resources and its broken down into 9 chapters containing 120 hacks. For those of you wondering what the term hack means it is not in a malicious way at all but how to better your understanding.
ResultsI would like to list a great hack with which has helped the PC Repairs London, it's Hack 49 on page 142, this shows you how to use the system as a router if your home router or company router has broken.

Lets say you have a company and the email server stops working, the PC Repairs London know how daunting this can be for a business which relies entirely on customers emails Hack 52 shows you how to combat this by showing you how to make an Emergency Mail Relay
In addition, with the mail relay hack there is the new PC Repairs London we say this as by reading this book we have been able to reduce our tool kit as so much can be done with the disk reducing the need to carry other software.
The PC Repairs London as always began by checking what is out there on the market and have to say the Hacks series published by O'Reilly Books are in a class of their own. A portable operating sytem with a fablous book at only £26.99 its an absolute bargain and highly recomended.
