Knoppix 4.0 DVD - Like a Kid in a Candy Store

Posted by timothy on from the that's-a-lotta-knoppix dept.

IdleTime writes "O'Reilly Developer Weblogs has a nice review of the new yet unreleased Knoppix 4.0 on DVD. As the article says 'A totally new release of Knoppix was unveiled at LinuxTag 2005, Knoppix 4.0. This is the release that introduces the split between "maxi" DVD and "mini" CD releases. I've tried out the 4.0 DVD and let me tell you, I'm like a kid in a candy store.'" AlexanderT points to some currently available torrent files for the DVD.

    That's what you use 3.9 or the "mini" version for. RTFA?

    If you have to explain the acronym, don't use it.

    LateX differs from any other WYSIWYG typesetting editors, because it keeps content different from presentation.

    If you are writing anything over 20 pages, neither OOo nor MS Word, nor Wordperfect will do. Trust me I wrote a 100 page document once in Word, absolute nightmare.

    Latex has a learning curve, but once you have passed it, there is nothing close.
