Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors

zxflash writes "SolidZ.com reports the latest update to KNOPPIX; the popular Linux based OS has just been released. Version 3.4 includes the version 2.6.5 Linux Kernel and improved hardware detection. It can be downloaded from one of the mirrors listed on the KNOPPIX homepage..." rduke15 adds "Koffice has been dropped for space reasons, as well as LaTex. From the forum: 'Download using bittorrent tracker at http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de:6969/. Remember: Leave your bittorrent client running after the download is finished!' And this is the complete list of included packages."

I have not used Linux in about 9 months. Why? Games.

I gave up Windows completely a year ago (except TurboTax on my wife's laptop.) Guess what? I smoke a hell of a lot less pot and spend at lot less time on the computer overall. Why? Same reason. Games.

The mirror in the parent is already getting slow, so I mirrored the mirror of the mirror of the .torrent files.

If you think of the math on this, it's not possible for everyone to have a ratio of 1.0, especially when you have greedy bastards going to 2.0 or higher...

Yes, Knoppix does sound like an STD ...

[Anonymous Coward]

What an unfortunate choice of name. Then again I'm sure that a large number of the users will never have to worry about conventional STDs :P

Bad news for Knoppix

Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors

I guess that's seven years of bad luck for Knoppix... ;-)

You mean 7 more years of "Is Linux Ready For The Desktop" articles?

Not troll, insightful.

[Anonymous Coward]

:laughs: Good lord, you're retarded. I know you have to be trolling to post "Windows ME > Linux" stuff, but on the off chance that you're just dumb, I gotta post a response. Where on the CD-ROM (READ ONLY) did you expect Knoppix to save it?

Re:Torrent stats

[Shakrai]

Hmm... I'm downloading it at about a third of the speed (15kB) that I'm uploading (45-50kB). My status is still 'blue' -- can't find a complete copy. Oh well I'm only pulling it on bittorrent to share it for others and chew some of Time Warner's bandwidth. Did it with Fedora and Slackware too -- download a complete copy share it until the next big thing comes along. Eats up the bandwidth of a monolithic corporation that I hate and gives something back to the community at the same time.

Everybody wins! Plus I get to see neat stats for my internet connection in nisca ;)

no latex?

Now that's a distro that you shouldn't let your children use!

Knoppix... as seen on The Broken

I'm sorry to hear that, would you like me to send you a Windows CD so you can carry on as before?

Re:May bring me back to linux

[Anonymous Coward]

What are you, some sort of illicit MS dealer?

I bet you've got an MCSE cert in your shed, where you make the CDs. Your type of people disgust me :p
