GNOPPIX: Bootable GNOME CD

Posted by michael on 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."

  1. How does one pronounce it??? by Mipsalawishus · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If it's pronounced as "noppix", then that's gonna cause some confusion for people talking about knoppix. Maybe it's G-noppix???

  2. Re:Why is this useful? by twistedcubic · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I think Americans got tired of pressing the "(" character for the "=" character on the boot options line, hence the fork.
