WinOS+QEMU+Knoppix 3.8 = WinKnoppix!

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oh-klaus-you-hypnotize-me dept.

chronicon writes "As reported earlier Knoppix 3.8 was presented and CD's distributed at CeBIT recently. For those of us who were not able to attend, some kind folks have posted a torrent for all to enjoy. Now, here's where it really gets interesting. Using QEMU (processor emulator) chris-uk has posted a modified version of Knoppix 3.8 that will run under Windows if auto-played, or if you wish, you can boot the CD for normal Knoppix. You can find the torrent here."

    Because you can then let people try before they buy without even needing to reboot.

    It just removes one more hurdle. People aren't going to wipe out their system just because the local geek said "its ready for the desktop".

    People need some proof that it really is better.
