  1. Debian ideology++ by Kethinov · · Score: 0, Troll

    Knoppix is utterly fantastic; I've used it to impress many people with Linux since 3.2.

    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. Running the latest version of Knoppix, just like Debian, is hardly up to date. :(

    Imagine a Knoppix based off Gentoo's portage tree. Every time you wanted to make a new livecd, you just used portage to compile a totally up to date livecd iso and burned it... if wishes were horses!
