Same procedure as last year...
Knoppix 5.3 DVD will be in the next German c't-magazine 6/2008 and probably for CeBIT-visitors from KK himself .
Hope this year we' ll get a download version later, too.
Knoppix 5.3 comes with kernel 2.6.24, KDE 4 and support for blind users.

Then no official version available online on this web site until sometime after June?
Does anybody know the origin, or know some way to verify the safety and authenticity, of the Knoppix 5.2 DVD floating around as bittorrent? If authentic, why is it not posted on this web site?

With Kbuntu available and updated twice per year, one wonders if Knoppix will become a curiosity.

"With Kbuntu available and updated twice per year, one wonders if Knoppix will become a curiosity."
Kubuntu, I believe, is designed primarily for installation, and not primarily for running from CD/DVD. Kubuntu does not appear to include compilers and developer tools by default, limiting the value of the live disk for scientific or technical users. I do not know whether it includes utilities appropriate for a rescue disk.

The various ubuntu live discs are a huge disappointment, particularly the DVDs, which seem to have no more on the live part than the minimal "Live CD". It's just hype to try to push ubuntu, not a real Live CD at all, unless what you want from an OS is to be able to just run an OS, not applications.

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

Knoppix 5.1.1 last free edition
Hallo
for your Information:
There was a discussion about "free" Knoppix and the non-free Cebit-Edition 5.2 and 5.3 (in March)
Karl Schock (of German Knoppix forums) has sent a "petition" to Klaus Knopper and Dr. Oliver Dietrich (Heise Verlag)
You can see the English text at the bottom here:
http://www.knoppixforum.de/index.php...37ad#post20680
The answers (basicly)
Klaus Knopper:
"Latest on 14.March.2008 at 23:59".
Heise Verlag:
"it's alone in K. Knopper's discretion if or when he releases a free edition, too"

Unfortunately, that's true of most Linux live CDs....

Ubuntu can run apps and it's wireless support is great 'out of the box'. I recently assisted a laptop owner with a bad HD recover data from a Vista NTFS partition to an external USB HD (Using Knoppix of course) and then switched to Ubuntu to run Open Office, Pidgen and Firefox. Chose Ubuntu for this non Linux users because wireless just works, its a PITA with Knoppix. User really wanted wireless bad to continue college studies while HP sent a new HD under warranty.
I read on the Ubuntu forums that it can be setup to boot from a flash drive, making it more useful for storage of files etc. 21 step process however, I didn't bother for this temp lash-up.
Ubuntu isn't meant to be a live CD per se, they provide it on a 'try before you install' premise. But I found for a short time frame it's superior to Knoppix for the average abuser.

I was not even aware of the fact that knoppix has a free and non-free version. I have used knoppix in a big way so if this debate continues without a free release my project will be in jeopardy. Mr. Knopper should put a stop to this debate by releasing public version along with the Cebit edition.
Although it is for Mr. Knopper to decide when he wishes to release a new version, if all open source projects will go this way Linux and open source would have been dead by now.
