CeBIT-news: Klaus presentated Knoppix 3.2

[Robert Michel]

Salve!

The newschannel of the German IT-Magazin C't reported today that Knoppix 3.2
is published at the world biggest ICT-fair CeBIT in Hannover:
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/odi-07.03.03-000/

Knoppix 3.2 has now KDE 3.1 and "persistant home" - a way to save
the configuration also on hd and USB-Memory-Sticks.

Cheers,
rob

PS: There isn't 3.2 on the ftp-mirrors yet

No this isn't dumb - I was looking to find a description or try to
start a PersistantHomeHowTo... So I've searched this forum and
found:

That as always been my understanding of persitant home, save the home
directory in those physical place. So actually you keep your
file/settings for all the thinks the user knoppix is doing there.

People of this forum though already to use a sever somewhere in the
internet instead of an USB stick

Konfiguration/Installing was yesterday
Using/Working is Knoppix

"I'm already finished with integration of KDE 3.1 on the official
version
(which will be 3.2). I'm planning to release it on CeBit 2003. Since
people are keeping me busy with emails, and I have to travel a lot
during the next weeks, there will be not much chance of a new release before the official 3.2, though."

And the new 3.2 wallpapers:

Visit the CeBIT 12.03-19.03.2003 if you can't wait to get 3.2
"ISO-Images will be available after CeBit on the official mirrors, shortly after CeBit." This means still 11 days to wait ....
