There are two instruments of this study, which are localized Chinese KNOPPIX and "Scales of students' Linux usage behavior after school".Using quasi-experiment research method, this study focused on two groups of KNOPPIX and Fedora Core2 of eight classes of fourth grade in a elementary school in two months. The results of this study was as followed: 1. It was feasible to make a localized Chinese LiveCD--KNOPPIX, using in elementary schools. 2. After KNOPPIX teaching, students' Linux computer attitude was significantly better than before. 3. After KNOPPIX teaching, students' Linux usage behavior after school was significantly better than before. 4. After teaching, students' Linux computer attitude of KNOPPIX group was significantly better than Fedora Core2 group. 5. After teaching, students' Linux usage behavior after school of KNOPPIX group was significantly better than Fedora Core2 group. 6. After KNOPPIX teaching, there was no significant difference in students' Linux computer attitude between boys and girls. 7. After KNOPPIX teaching, there was no significant difference in students' Linux usage behavior after school between boys and girls. 8. After KNOPPIX teaching, a path model of students' Linux computer attitude and Linux usage behavior after school is match with TAM model, except that "External Variables" is not discussed. In conclusion, KNOPPIX's Perceived Ease of Use could improve students' Linux computer attitude and Linux usage behavior. In the case of Free Software spreading, especially most people seldom use Linux, KNOPPIX performed great to spread Linux, and it is worth adopting.
