Knoppix 4.0 DVD - Like a Kid in a Candy Store

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.

How about the source? I guess we're getting so lax about the GPL that we don't even expect it anymore.

Actually you don't. DVD burners are hell. Mine won't recognize even top of the line blank media and won't even recognize a disk it's burned itself. It reads movie DVDs fine, though. Go figure. My other DVD drive recognizes the disks the burner burns okay.

The damn things are FAR too sensitive. The companies pushed the dye making technology too far. DVD burners are horrible consumer products - there are entire Web sites devoted to getting them working reliably. It's pathetic.
