Hello,
Does anyone know how / where to buy the Knoppix 8.0 DVD in the USA ?
It looks like that it is only available for purchase to those with a german address.
If not is someone willing to be kind enough to buy the Linux Magazin german edition
(I can reimburse via paypal), rip the DVD and make it electronically available to me ?
Thanks,
Gilles

Hi!

It should be possible to buy the magazine http://shop.computec.de/linux/linux-magazin/einzelhefte/linux-magazin-dvd-04-2017.html at the ComputecShop, but you must contact their customer support https://shop.computec.de/kundenservice/default/contactForm/section/contact/ in order to get information about shipping costs.

I hope this helps.

A more informative description of Knoppix 8.0 may be found at:

This site is in German, but Google Translator for Firefox does a mostly-coherent English translation of this, IMO.

I expect the April 2017 issue of the US Linux Magazine to include an English-language copy of the 2017 CeBIT Knoppix 8.0 DVD.
I bought my US copy of the April 2016 Linux Magazine, containing last year's Knoppix 7.7 DVD on April 2, 2016 at Barnes & Noble.

3/27/2017 update:
US version of Linux Magazin is called Linux Pro Magazine.
April Linux Pro ads in 2014, 2015 and 2016 contained CeBIT/DELUG versions of Knoppix 7.3, 7.5 and 7.7 respectively.
'Current issue 197' ads for April 2017 Linux Pro don't show Knoppix 8.0 as I hoped & anticipated.

I have 7.7.1 running well, thanks. Is there someplace we can download 8.0 now? Its been almost a month since the announcement.

If the release history is a reliable guide, the first official release of version 8 will only take place in several months.

Time to start again , blew up my trusty 7.7 flash disk, very disappointed I cant find an 8.0.0 image anywhere on the net. unusal since its impossible to find this magazine in Australia.
I cant read german anyways , surely the iso must be out there somewhere as its been referred to on the knoppix home page for ages !!
flash-knoppix like this: flash-knoppix KNOPPIX_V8.0.0DVD-2017-03-01-EN.iso

When I click on Linux Pro Magazine the only magazine it gets me to is Linux Magazine, which did come with a Knoppix 7.7 DVD, but no newer Knoppix since then. Has anyone seen or heard anything? I saw a support question for 8.0, so it must appear eventually, I would think.

Don't think you are going to download it from Filenugget. Its a German company, but its a total scam, complete with fake looking google answers and $12 a month to get your credit card, and you click a link for Knoppix 8.0 DVD and people saying its good and thanking them for posting it, etc, and you click and get the your download is ready, and when you click download you get their sign up screen. Then after you sign up you find out they don't have the file, and it was just a scam to get your credit card. I had to cancel the service and the credit card. That was just oo much effort, I'm sorry.

I'm in the same boat looking for 8.0 Have you been able to locate a source for it yet? I'm in the US and can't find a copy anywhere....

I was able to download a copy of 8.0 via torrent.

Thanks to those who put it there.
