You should probably look at your /etc/fstab file and see why /dev/hda3 is 
mounting read-only.

It should be something similar to the following:

dev/hda3		/mnt_point 	ext3 		defaults 	1 2

As for a choice on distributions, if that Debian is actually Knoppix, I'd go 
with that, then run the hdx-install script to put it permanently on the 
drive.
