You can start downloading Knoppix in public mirror.

Meanwhile many people prefer Ubuntu, i still prefer Knoppix for LiveCD distro, as it came with KDE and GNOME both in 1 CD (perhaps because it uses DVD rather than CD), eventhough i never used GNOME. If you want to use KDE for your Window Manager in Ubuntu, try Kubuntu. They are all derived from the same distro, Debian Linux
