Any KNOPPIX (Linux) users here?

I got hold of this old Dell Latitude 266Mhz Pentium 2 notebook for free. Managed to install XP, and -oh wonder- it actually works (just) for simple applications like Internet etc. But looking for an alternative OS, I came across this live-CD called KNOPPIX (free download, 700MB self-installing image file). It's a complete Linux OS with a huge number of applications that's starts by just loading the CD, leaving XP on the HD intact. The load on the processor and memory is much less than XP does. Recognizes all PC components as easy as as XP does. Runs great.
Anyone has any experience with KNOPPIX aswell??
