    News- Knoppix 5.0

    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.

    Introducing 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) .

    What's new:

    * Linux Kernel 2.6.15.4
    * Debian (testing/unstable)
    * Xorg Version 6.9
    * udev+hwsetup for automatic hardware detection
    * KDE 3.5.1, GNOME 2.12 from Debian/unstable
    * OpenOffice 2.0.1 (german+english)
    * transparent write access for NTFS partitions (libntfs+fuse)
    * new knoppix-installer now also with the possibility to update existing installations of Knoppix
    * Many Updates...

    Roadmap: Earliest date 2 weeks after CeBIT, the CD edition of KNOPPIX 5.0 should be ready and will be available for download, together wih the DVD version, from the usual mirrors.

    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?

    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 quick And 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.

    I'll wait until the official release. I'm just having a resolution problem with 4.0.1. I know that xorg 6.9 in 5.0 supports 1680x1050 wth my Mobility Radeon X600 ("ati" drivers).
