    You really need to pass this information along to Knopper.net, a compeltely different site owned and run by completely different people. Your post here may warn some people, but there was already a post here and it didn't serve to warn you.
    What are you talking about?

    Why "knopper.net", when I found xplinux.biz on the vendor list on THIS site?

    As for the post that was already here -- the guy said that his issue was eventually resolved, however in my
    case, the issue was never resoved, therefore my posting has added addtional information for people
    which was not here before, that is, that xplinux.biz is a total ripoff.

    From the tone of your message, I get the sense that you think I was responsible for being
    ripped off just because I didn't surf every Linux forum before purchasing.

    Perhaps you would like to post an actual link. This site does link to the knopper.net site. If you found it here (such as in the wiki somewhere), then it can be changed here. If fact, if it's in the wiki then you should be able to add your own warnings yourself.

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

    You know what? I did get the vendor list from knopper.net, however, besides the fact that the domain names are nearly identical, they link to this site from this page:

    http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-info/index-en.html


    Even before I posted here, I wrote that site owner and noticed that xplinux.biz has since been delisted:
