why not try fedora core release 3 instead
knoppix is live cd based, and it's a nice quick way of checking out linux, however thats about all i'd recommend it for unless you are experienced with linux and want to install it to your hard disc
fedora, on the other hand is a well supported and very active linux distro and a lot of people on these forums use it (i do, the forums run on Fedora) so you'll get lots of support here too
either way, you can dual boot xp and linux no problem if you know what you are doing
good luck and welcome to the forums
cheers
