Wrong. They only run on AMD64, IA-64 and IA-32. SuSE supports PPC.
RedHat doesn't support PPC, and non of them support Sparc or MIPS or
[insert favorite architecture here].

Well, Libranet, Lindows (Argh!!) Xandros and Knoppix are all Debian
based. I have tried all of them (except Lindows) and they are all
serving a popuse. It is good to have them, I especially like Libranet
and Knoppix.
Now that the discussion is so much about Knoppix, let me tell you that a
while back I tried a distro called CollegeLinux which was based on
Slack but used Knoppix's auto detection. Cool !
Cheers
