Kanotix has one thing in particular that I sorely miss in Knoppix: support for encrypted loopback filesystems.
However, there are two things in Knoppix that I've missed in the live CD version of Kanotix: 1. Emacs 2. a US-English default
Obviously I could have these things in a custom remastering of Kanotix if I were sufficiently motivated to create one.
And I can at least type 'us' at the boot prompt in order to get US-English, if I'm paying close enough attention at boot-time.
Kanotix recently helped me to bail out a resource-challenged consultant at our office -- with a side-glance to "Knoppix Hacks" (the O'Reilly book -- much of which is also applicable to Kanotix) I was quickly able to help the consultant to bring up a Remote Desktop session from a workstation to an MS Windows '03 server.
