Shady distro

Gnoppix is a nice looking distribution, but too many important things don't work to deserve a good rating. I was first annoyed that it didn't recognise wifi networks, and after connecting it to the cable I found that neither anonsurf nor vpn worked, so for me it has become almost useless at this point compared to some of the others. The ram consumption is also annoying, given that it is an xfce desktop, which is supposed to be light on hardware resources. On the positive side, it is based on Debian and it looks nice, but the shortcomings mentioned above have led me to replace it with one more suited to my needs.

As a traveler who relies on sketchy hotel WiFi for everything, I rarely have the time or patience to mess with new software. But this trip, I came across a lifesaver: Gnoppix. Let me tell you, this Linux distro is a game-changer for anyone who hits the road with a laptop.

Here's why:

Plug-and-Play Perfection: I simply copied the newest image (24.6.15) to a USB stick, booted it up on various machines, and boom! I was up and running faster than any other live CD I've tried. No complicated installations, just instant access.

App Arsenal Out of the Box: No more scrambling to find the basics. It came loaded with everything I needed, from web browsing to document editing. It saved me tons of time not having to hunt down software.
Security Champion: This is my biggest concern on public WiFi.Gnoppix made securing my connection a breeze. No wrestling with complex settings – it just worked!
Now, I'm no Linux guru, but for anyone who needs a secure, user-friendly OS on the go, gnoppix is a fantastic option. It's fast, well-equipped, and puts security first – exactly what a traveling techie needs. Highly recommend! Well done guys!!
