Knoppix 3.3 Update, 3.4 C't Edition Are Out

Also, and more important I guess, Knoppix 3.4 c't edition is out (torrent here). It is supposed to have kernel 2.6!" And it does. If you're looking for a way to test your setup with a 2.6 kernel without trashing a current install, this is a good way -- but note that the ct edition Knoppix boots into German (Shift-0 gets you an =, as in "lang=us") and kernel 2.4; you'll need to type "knoppix26" at startup to boot the new kernel. (You may find the excellent forums at knoppix.net helpful, too.) Update: 02/10 01:03 GMT by T : Note that the XFree version is really 4.3, not 3.4.

Knoppix!! by w00t_sargasso · 2004-02-09 12:07 · Score: -1, Flamebait

Knoppix is a good concept, but not executed all that well. I have tried it on around 20 pcs and it only worked on one. The others froze until reboot. And they werent all that old......

Personally, I LOVE SLACKWARE!!! YAY!!!

  Then stop building your own PCs because they are not worth a shit. Ha ha ha ha...
