Knoppix 3.3 Is Out

Posted by timothy on from the ausgezeichnet dept.

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.

    Tell me why I should use this shit instead of the reliable good old XP Home Edition.

    Anyway why they hell would you use A linux CD just to run a crappy third rate media player under linux, when you can use the preinstalled copy of XP to use an industry-standard DVD player like WinDVD. Its just counter-intuitive if you ask me. If you want meida playing XP is so much better anyway, heck for that matter so is Windows 95. The only reason to use Linux is if you want to run Sendmail and have your computer exploited or something, if you ask me.

    I don't understand. Reliable and XP Home Edition in the same sentence does not compute, Dave.

    What a pity, I guess you'll have to go suck like 15 more hobo cocks to make the 8 cents that CD cost. STUPID FUCK.
