Can Knoppix currently be used as a VPN client?
Here is a setup howto:

I was just thinking it could be nice to have a Knoppix VPN client CD release.
You could supply VPN IP address, login and password at boot and have a "clean" VPN client.

You also wouldn't have to worry about, for example, what viruses you had on your home Windows machine when connecting to the office network to do some work. You could be using rdesktop.org. SysAdmins might like a Knoppix VPN CD for this reason.

Or is Knoppix already VPN ready and I would just need to create the boot options?

I had thought about it too ,but for some VPN components it needed some kernelrecompiling. ( for which knoppix needs to be remastered ,and I don't feel like it :lol: ).
Nevertheless all components are available on the net to perform VPN client on linux. A linux citrix client exists too.
Perhaps one of these days when I have much,much time ???
