ok
I just have acquired knoppix 3.9 and i have some questions
about it

What commands can I use to enable extended permission ACL's on files?

which configuration files get modified when I modify the KDE panel bar configuration?
How many and which terminal sessions are available?

and for software development,
Which version of the GCC family of compilers does this version of Knoppix carry?
Are there some goddies of this version for perl?
Does the distribution have a development environment?

Thanks for the help :D

Not quite sure I can answer your "tech" questions, but, I think I can give you some "clues" on finding these answers on your own...

try doing the following: ( in a root Konsole )
updatedb
locate gcc

Scroll through the output, and see what shows up...

Another avenue, is to use the ever popular, combination: ( again, in a root Konsole )
apt-cache policy [package]
apt-cache show [package]

the first command will show if the package is installed, and if newer versions exist. The second, displays an "extended" description of the package, a lot more information that what is shown as a "one-line" in the apt-cache search [something] command.

As for your other questions, possibly some one else has information on them...

Hope this helps,
Ms. Cuddles
