[BC] Windows utility needed

[Jeff Carter]

I *loved* Knoppix and used it exclusively until Ubuntu 9.04 came out.  Knoppix isn't updated as often as I would have liked, while Ubuntu supports just about every NIC in existence.

If you're a Knoppix fan like me and haven't tried Ubuntu, I wholeheartedly recommend it.
