Knoppix is fine, no doubt, for those who are familiar with it. I did try it
out, about ten years ago, when I was comparing Linux distros. I might check
out the latest Knoppix live DVD, just to see what's in their toolset, but I
doubt I would ever install it; so, in effect, it is still for me a
single-purpose disc.
It's a matter of what one is familiar with; your granddaddy is not mine. If I
had infinite time, and infinitely many different computers, I would install
and learn all the different distros. I just want something that works well,
is GNU/Linux, free/libre, and secure.
I don't like the SourceForge site, but it is a quick solution to my problem.

Oh yeah, for anybody who is looking for the iso
file of gparted:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/latest/download
Seems silly to me to bother with a single purpose CD when you can use the
granddaddy of all live Linux distros and have a standard toolset including
gparted, or a DVD with an expanded toolset.
