Knoppix 3.3 Is Out

maedls.at writes "After 6 months of development, the latest version of Knoppix 3.3 is out - Kernel 2.4.22 with HIGHMEM (4GB) support, KDE 3.1.3, XFree86 4.3, OpenOffice 1.0.3 (German and English), KOffice 1.2.1, new boot options for RAM or hard-disk preload of the CD. Possibility to create a persistent homedir with personal data and desktop settings on a memory stick or similar, optional with AES encryption." The main Knoppix site is still down in protest of European software patent legislation (click on the link inside the English paragraph to get to the meat of the site), but the excellent knoppix.net has a detailed changelog.

Knoppix as a restore / recovery tool by Mr.+Ophidian+Jones · 2003-09-22 15:07 · Score: 1, Offtopic

After installing any system it's an excellent idea to use Norton Ghost (free [as in beer] with Soyo and possibly other MBs) to image the system. Then, if anything bad happens or if you just want to move the OS to a new drive, you just blast it over and 30 minutes later or less you're up and running as though nothing changed.

My 2000 system was on an old 2GB drive that was about to fail and with ghost I was up and running much faster on a 13GB drive in less than an hour. I also have an image of my web-server's OS/app drive in case it ever fails.

Knoppix and what I do is basically what prebuilt system manufacturers have been doing for years. It's just that HP, et al, add a lot of crap to the image.

Re:Software patents in the US? by Anonymous Coward · 2003-09-22 15:28 · Score: -1, Offtopic

In the US, entrepreneurs are allowed to patent their work in order to protect their investment in the development of software, and make developing new algorithms profitable.

In socialist europe there are no such safeguards. The EU is trying to modernize their IP laws, but it is meeting resistance from hackers, piracy proponents, and other activists.

"What, no BitTorrent link? I'm disapointed. Anyone have a torrent for it?"

Great. Now every topic will have a +4 "where's BitTorren?" post. Thanks for getting that ball rolling!
