The oral type herpes is causes cold sores and rashes around the mouth area. The rashes can also appear on the face. Since you both work on knoppix operating system therefore it is obvious that there is a shortage of time in your love life and there is not enough intimate times between you. So the first thing you should do is to try and manage work with personal life and that too very smartly. The same smartness is required to manage this as you both show while working on knoppix. You want to know that if you kiss your girlfriend whether you will also be contracted by herpes, well to answer that there is quite a possibility of it as this disease can be transmitted to a healthy person form the infected carrier if the infected person has it in his or her mouth and there is an exchange of saliva. Herpes gets transmitted much quickly if the person is having cold sores and there is the saliva exchange.
