Right on schedule and just as anticipated. The CD seems good so far and the DVD will be a little while longer on Bittorrent.
Thanks!
5.1 has been released. Both CD and DVD. I'm downloading it now. Beryl and ntfs-3g and aufs. Sounds great.

What happened to the public beta ? I was regularly visiting this sub-forum waiting for news, then suddenly I popped over to LiveCD News and it was already out. Obviously, it was tested but inquiriing minds want to knwow....
Anyone got a torrent available yet?
Never mind.

Well, duh! The official torrents have been running since the release. 178 seeders who have finished downloading but are still seeding for the EN CD (I'm one of them), and a healthy number of seeders for the DVD too (remember, you get seeded from those still downloading too as well as those only seeding). While in a few cases someone might find a fast mirror I generally find the official torrent much faster and certainly more reliable. Follow the Get Knopix link at the top of this page to get to the official tracker.Originally Posted by br8kwall

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.
