Knoppix 5.0 is going to be turned loose at CeBit. Then to the public 2 weeks to a month after that. I was able to purchace Knoppix 3.5 left over from CeBit for about $15 us.
http://www.knopper.net/cebit/index-en.htmlIntroducing KNOPPIX version 5.0
The KNOPPIX 5.0 Live DVD contains some major changes in the unionfs-based file system, new hardware detection and autoconfiguration, and a more "genuine Debian" oriented selection of packages. Apart from this, the harddisk install option ("knoppix-installer") has been extended by Martin Öhler, based on the work of Fabian Franz, featuring a "live update" of specific packages from a new version of the live DVD or CD.
The first release of Knoppix 5.0 is exclusively available as a free pressed DVD on CeBIT, at the KNOPPER.NET booth (University of applied sciences Zweibrücken, Hall 9, booth C39/31) and at the Heise booth (Hall 5, E3. The pressing of the CeBIT KNOPPIX DVDs has been sponsored, like in the past years, by the Heise publishing company.
You can find more information about "KNOPPIX @ CeBIT" at the Heise Newsticker (german text) .

No one having attended the CeBIT to comment on this?
Is there a torrent from anyone who got one of the DVDs at the CeBIT?
Is the CeBIT disc in English? I can't wait to get this! I just hope it displays correctly on my laptop.
I found this torrent:

MethodOne,
The CeBit version will be in German. You will need to use cheat code knoppix lang=us on the German keyboard the = is ). If you are having display problems on your laptop you might try knoppix lang=us xmodule=fbdev.
Moah.... I think that's pretty quickAnd I don't mind waiting a bit for it.
Odd thing though, I've tried loads of distros (and I mean Loads!) and I allways end up with Debian in one form or another.
