This screenshot shows Knoppix Linux live CD running the Fluxbox window manager. The entire operating system fits on one CD-R, and it bypasses any spyware, trojans, and viruses on the hard drive of the computer. In this screenshot I am browsing the Web with Firefox, logged into Yahoo Messenger, listening to an MP3 file, and editing a digital photo with a Photoshop replacement program called the GIMP.

Applications running:

• The GIMP — editing a photo from my digital camera.
• Firefox Browser — reading the BBC news.
• Gaim — an instant messenger program that can log into MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ, and IRC all at the same time.
• XMMS — listening to some music with one of the included media players.

You can download Knoppix for free.
