  1. Great! by CoolVibe · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've been waiting for this "ultimate sysadmin's bootdisk" to include kde 3.1.1. This iso saved my life several times already. Go get it! Go knoppix team!

  2. Check out Morphix ! by IIEFreeMan · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Knoppix is great but it's quite monolithic. Morphix is Knoppix-based (with the same great hardware detection) but it is based on modules so you can customize your ISO very easily. For exemple there is a Gnome module, A KDE module, A light GUI module (with ICEwm) and so forth ...

    It's also nice because it's a clean Debian unstable whereas Knoppix was (i don't know about 3.2) based on a mix of stable/unstable packages.
