  1. Why no mention on the major sites? by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 2, Insightful


    I find it odd that version 3.6 is not mentioned on the Official Knoppix site, or on Knoppix.net.

    Can someone explain that? Is 3.6 a trojan?

    But it annoys me that Knoppix follows the Debian "stable" ideology to the letter. Yesterday KDE 3.3 is released, today Knoppix 3.6 is released including KDE 3.2.

    It's pretty hard to patch a cdrom. Better to lag behind the cutting edge a little bit for security than find 3.3 has a buffer overflow and then issue 3.6.1 right after everyone has finished downloading the cds.

    Not everyone needs to be on the bleeding edge.
