KANOTIX looks like a very nice distro.

I believe you've mentioned it before, but you should have sung its praises a bit more. :-)

The KANOTIX web page has a heavy Deutsch slant, but if one is willing to select [link|http://kanotix.com/index.php?&newlang=eng|English] from the language drop-down box (scroll down, on the left) for each page, it works well. It's nice that it has KDE 3.5 available, and that it's built directly on SID.

There's a nice review of KANOTIX 2005.3 (the previous version) on [link|http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=review-kanotix|DistroWatch].

I've downloaded a copy, but probably won't find the time to actually install it for a while. I notice that Klaus Knopper has a talk at CeBIT where he'll be talking about [link|http://www.knopper.net/cebit/index-en.html|KNOPPIX 5.0], so there may be some other nice changes coming very soon.

Interesting times. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.

I used to use Knoppix

when I first switched from RH to Debian in the course. However, the recent versions of Knoppix (from about 3.9) were not very install-friendly.

I read about Kanotix, gave it a try and it gives me what I used to have with Knoppix without having to hand out a three page sheet of cheat codes.
