I don't want to stop you but in general Knoppix is 
a useful system to carry around on a CD, and it says so.
If you have standard hardware, use Debian testing or better, stable,
and compile the few new things you need, like compilers.
It is somewhat tedious, though possible, to go from a Knoppix Debian
to a testing Debian, and the hardware recognition Knoppix offers is
quite helpful before doing this.

: I'm too scared to upgrade the kernel myself. ;)

The Knoppix kernel is, as is said in the README, the latest stable
kernel from kernel org with a few patches.  You loose the security
patches of Debian's stable, you win support for new features and hardware.
I'm glad though that it supports the XFS file system out of the box
so it has a chance to become known.
