Therefore X was messed up ... how come ? It worked fine up to the night before. I turned off the computer in the end of my working session. An update could be the culprit. I noticed that my laptop is being updated pretty frequently. When I am notified that some new patches are ready I am at a loss whether to install them or not. It's a mess ... And the accompanying information is lacking. But now that you will have two computers you can update the main computer as soon as they arrive and wait before updating the backup computer. You are protected by a router i assume ?
The previous time I used knoppix was over 2 years ago. But I would expect a technician that I pay as the Linux "expert" to know that. I saw this guy groping for a solution just like me. Good support people are rare. The job is emotionally taxing. Plus usually marketing is decisive favoring the rip-offs because most customers prefer to fall for the gloss and the posturing ("experts").
You are right, if you depend on your computer, you need a backup computer at the ready. I am planning to get another laptop. A dual core. I have no time to update myself about what is available put together a configuration. I personally prefer the 22 inch screens and EM-free keyboards.
