The 7 cd set is most likely Woody probably Rev 2 (3.0r2) which I run. It has considerable virtue, not least stability and security. However considering that you have been running knoppix, a selection from unstable and testing I believe, you would likely find Woody to be quite 'retro'. For instance I am unable to run the latest Mozilla or its siblings Firefox and Thunderbird because I lack the necessary libraries. So I need to upgrade to Sarge and will be doing just that over the next few days. I may be wrong on this but I believe Sarge is now included in the security update process. Even if I am wrong on that it will not be far away. The full set of Sarge comprises 13 cds or 2 dvds, but most folks could get by with at most the first 4 cds. If you have a halfway decent internet connection, maybe just the first 1 or perhaps the 'netinst' cd. You can probably glom what you need from a local linux user group for a nominal fee. I supply my lug members with gpl cds for just 1 AUD each as do 3 other guys in the same lug. We do it to spread the good news if you like and just about cover costs.
