Knoppix 3.8 at CeBIT w/ Kernel 2.6, FF, and More

Posted by timothy on from the slicing-edge dept.

clsc writes "The German tech news site Heise Online reports that Knoppix 3.8 is being presented at CeBIT (Hall 9, Stand C39). Knoppix 3.8 has kernel 2.6 as default, KDE 3.3.2, OpenOffice 1.1.4, as well as... Firefox 1.0 and Thunderbird 1.0. There's also a really neato new thing involving unionfs . It seems to imply that you can change most anything on the running system, even as it is running from CD - and changes can be stored too (even on NTFS)."

    Actually I think that would be a good idea. I have a bunch of boxes at home, is there any distro out there that would boot form a cd and turn them into a cluster for some instant number crunching?

    "change most anything"?

    Is slashdot reaching such depths that submitters can't even form sentences correctly?

    That should be "change almost anything", thankyou.

    Yeah, yeah, I know, offtopic -1.
