Best (CD Bootable?) Linux Distro for Dominions?

[PhilD]

I shortly tried to get Knoppix to work, but wasn't very successful. Mostly, all my machines(*) are either dual-boot from the day I start using them, or Linux only. Repartitioning a mostly empty drive for dual boot isn't too hard, and only bothers you the very first time you have to do it.

But I'm not sure how you'd go about getting Knoppix to write your game data to a real partition... does it do it transparently?

(*) Two office desktops (one in each of my 2 offices), one office laptop, my home PC, my girlfriend's home PC, and my old personal laptop, though this one's mostly dead; yes, I qualify as a geek.
