I
LOVE
YOU
CARLA AND ALWAYS

or such was the message, my first time visiting knoppix.net and I thought it
was unprofessional (but then I realize knoppix.net has been hacked). Some
of the FTP sites are point to weird URL as well (presently) to outside of the
U.S. when it should point w/in the U.S.

I think Knoppix.net has been compromised and not just a prank of deface.

Hi,
the ftp sites all look fine to me, got an example?

As for that wiki I love you thing, someone edited the wiki, which is perfectly allowed ( though it's not allowed to mess it up of course. )

http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.ph...ge?version=154

That is version 154 of the wiki homepage

Then someone fixed it :

http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.ph...ge?action=diff

In the future there will be a login to the wiki.

I think the Univ. Illinois ftp point to somewhere .de --I take it the alternating FTP servers at "Get Knoppix" is normal?

the link on the Illinois is :
ftp://uiarchive.uiuc.edu/mirrors/ftp...linux/knoppix/

it is a mirror of a .de ftp server.. as knoppix comes from .de

Yes the alternating is normal, it detects your country and if you're from US will show US mirrors at the top. If it listed them the same every time then the top one would get hit the most, randomizing the order spreads the load between the mirrors.
