A quick update. The book has made it to Safari for those of you who have an account there. Also preorders should start being shipped from the 25-27th of October, and it should start appearing in stores then as well.

Book hit Barnes and Noble Friday the 5th in my area and Boarders "should" have it on the shelf around the 10th. Got my copy and just starting on it.

Saw in a Barnes and Noble and decided to order from Amazon today. $20 is more than a good deal for such a well thought-out book. I can't wait for my copy to get in.

Knoppix rules!

Hi James, thanks for the review.

By the way, my explanation for including the 3.4 Knoppix is in Hack #2. It was a tough call. Basically I could have included 3.6 (the latest official version) but it seemed rather unstable and at the time even things such as klik weren't working so I opted to drop back to the stablest version.

Yeah, I spotted that in the book & I agree with your choice. I figured I would mention the version just to let people know that Knoppix is included with the book.
Congrats on a job well done.

This being my first post here I'm happy to say that "Knoppix Hacks" has been a pleasant experience since picking it up at a "Borders" here in Michigan.

Knoppix Hacks hit the front page of Slashdot this afternoon.

I bought this book last week. Actually I bought two. It makes a great Christmas gift for that Windows friend that is thinking about trying Linux. It comes with a copy of Knoppix. I am very impressed with all of the possibilities it brings to mind. Things that I would have never even considered are explained and made simple.

Great job!
