Can you recommend me a linux distribution that can be installed on a hard drive to use it as a second operating system in the computer?
I’ve tried knoppix bootable live cd and I liked it. Is very good.
Can knopping be installed on a hard drive? Or any other linux distribution?

I need to find a linux distribution for my old old laptop. Here’s the specs:
- PII 333 MHz Processor
- 96 MB RAM
- 3.3 GB Hard Drive
- No integrated NIC
- USB Ethernet Dongle (Linksys USB200M)
- 24X CDROM
- USB Port
I’m wanting to convert the laptop into a network admin tool. I’d like to use it to accomplish the following tasks:
- Monitor network nodes (PING, SNMP, Latency Tests)
- Network Connectivity and Routing Tests (Telnet, Dig, NSLOOKUP, etc)
- Packet Captures and packet analysis
- Web browsing
- Linux command practices
- GUI interface
So I’m looking for a distribution that will work with my specs and provide as much network tools and functionality as possible.
But wait, there’s more =P
I plan to leave the laptop up and running for long periods of time so I don’t want to use a “live cd” distribution… or rather, I need it to run off of the hard drive.
