Is it possible to buy a copy of Knoppix 7.3.0 anyplace?
.
Greetings, buymystock .
The CeBIT version of Knoppix usually appears in March or so,
and is usually a feature of Linux Magazin in Europe or Linux Magazine in
the US. These magazines cost about $10 and usually contain a DVD version of Knoppix.
Some of us wait a few months for the 'Community Edition' which often
corrects a few problems of the CeBIT version, and is free for the download.
To my knowledge, the only way to get an official copy of 7.3 is either with the March 2014 issue of Linux Magazine or by attending CBit. Best I can tell, the following link is to the page on Linux Magazine's website regarding the copy included with the magzine, but I have not been able to find any information on how to order a copy: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues...is-Month-s-DVD Though you would think someone with a copy would have made an iso and torrented it. The absence of public betas is one thing I miss from Ubuntu and vanilla Debian, but I am stuck with Knoppix since its Adriane variant appears to be the only well-known distro that is blind accessible out of the box.

The CeBIT DVD is likely copyrighted and moreover likely contains additional material,
beyond the Knoppix material,
for which a DVD owner has no rights to distribute.
I'm sure you mean well, Jeffery, but
the suggestion for someone to torrent their copy is not well-advised IMO.
Hi UTU,
Thanks for the response; I have not bought Knoppix this way either. It's a very good marketing strategy for Linux Magazine to offer the 7.3 DVD with their sequential periodical. I'll take the option of waiting a few months for the 'Community Edition' because I like its subsequent edited version which often corrects a few problems that may be found in the earlier CeBIT edition. I appreciate your answer, UTU.
Blessings

Here's a new clue as to when the 'Community Edition' might be available:
a French offer of Knoppix 7.3 with an offering date of May 31. Find this at: http://www.getlinux.fr/knoppix-knoppix-p-78.html

Greetings, UTU,
I may send out for the DVD from the French company mentioned in your reply.
It costs a little over $10.00 in United States Dollars (USD) currency. The link works for me. They give their complete mailing address for payment with 3 or 4 day waiting period for DVD to arrive after payment is received in their office. Much gratitude, "utu".
Blessings

I expect free downloads may be available on about this same time scale,
unless Klaus K finds something he wants to correct first.
I would love to meet Klaus K or get a personal email from him; he's awe-inspiring and incredible! Naturally, his operating systems are too! I have been fortunate enough to have discovered and practiced using his Knoppix OS since version 2.2, more than a decade ago; at that time, I quickly and successfully weaned myself off of microsoft's detritus rubbish.
I'm also fond of both Klaus K and his Knoppix product.
Your join date shows you've been at this longer than I have. Congratulations.
My observation is that Klaus K does not frequent this forum, except rarely.
He has not been very active even on his own forum lately, at least publicly,
as you can see at: https://lists.debian.org/debian-knoppix/2014
I think Klaus K does monitor his own forum, however, and will most likely respond
to specific questions there, if the questions are reasonable and pertinent, and
almost certainly if you've found a legitimate problem that needs his attention.
Werner points out that Klaus K may be seen on some past CeBIT sessions giving
lectures there in both English and German.
