GNOPPIX: Bootable GNOME CD

Posted by michael on Friday September 12, 2003 @07:55AM from the sincerest-form-of-flattery dept.

ubiquitin writes "While KNOPPIX has been around for some time, the GNOPPIX project has only recently made its first release. The main difference is that it lets you boot into the GNOME desktop environment. Usually forks are more trouble than they're worth, but given the limits of what you can compress onto a single CD, separate projects makes sense to me. Hopefully more widespread recognition will also bring about a few more mirrors."

So this grasshopper walks into a bar, sits down and orders a drink.
The bartender says, "Hey, I've never had a grasshopper in my bar before. I'm gonna name a drink after you!"
And the grasshopper says, "You're going to name a drink 'Bruce'?"

If you want a pissing contest I could say that I could rescue a system, using a disk editor in hex.
But why not make it a bit easier on yourself, I don't need to prove anything.
