XP home has to be loaded first from a clean disk. If it smells Linux (or BSD or whatever) it takes it's baseball and goes home. This was the last straw as far as me going solely Linux. I don't have any windows specific applications for which I can't find a replacement.

If you have a fairly fast connection (56k would be dicey, Id guess), processor (1GHz+), and a suitable ammount of ram (256MB), go with Gentoo. The documentation they provide will enable and enlighten all at once. You can even use your Knoppix boot disk if you don't wan't to burn a Gentoo boot.
