Cons
Con Crashes badly on some systems
Can not be updated or upgraded. The software that comes with it is all you get no matter how old a version it is. It comes with open source drivers for NVidia (noveau) and if your card is not compatible with it the system will crash horribly within minutes. On some systems though KNOPPIX runs wonderfully.
