HenrikOxUK pastes "We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of TheOpenCD v2.0. The disc contains old favorites like Mozilla, OpenOffice, AbiWord, Gimp in updated versions, but also has some noteable additions like Firefox, Thunderbird, Blender and Gaim. The CD browser technology is also new this time, and is based on Gecko (see screenshots). This approach should make it simpler to make derivatives, including localized versions, some of which will be out shortly. We have timed the release to be out just before the holidays so you can fill the stockings of friends and family with Free and useful software. Read more or get a copy from one of our FTP mirrors or on Bittorrent."

KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux software

no, No, NO, NO!

I understand that some of you break out in debilitating hives if you hear the word "Linux" without a "GNU/" prefix, but that argument is over the name of an operating system. Not the software that runs on top of it! Give this shit a rest, because you've surpassed the bounds of sillyness and are now in the realm of the truly bizarre. ot.
