Knoppix 3.4 with 2.6 kernel available in two weeks?
I found this announcment here.
Can any German speaking users confirm this? Perhaps this was also on the developers list. I haven't been watching it too much recently. In any event it sounds pretty cool.

Yes, you are right. The website of the c't magazine says:
Issue 4/2004 is due February 9, 2004
Companies appreciate it for its security and reliabilit. Private users, however, are still reluctant to use Linux. Why is that? c't tests everyday usability of system and applications and presents on the attached CD-ROM a breakting fresh Knoppix 3.4 with Kernel 2.6 for you to try out.

check out the mailing list... here's a post from Klaus http://mailman.linuxtag.org/pipermai...ry/004506.html, click [thread] above the message to see more/later messages on the same topic
To save you the time here's the pertinent message:
The first public version of KNOPPIX 3.4 will be announced and
distributed (if everything goes well) at CeBit 2004
(
http://www.cebit.de/), and also be available for download shortly
afterwards.
The private edition in a german computer magazine is independent
thereof.
I'm still doing an update of the current 3.3 version, but have been
waiting for the XFS patch for Kernel 2.4.24 for quite a while without
success (it's still not there on
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/patches/2.4.24, anybody happens to know
why it is delayed?). Now KDE 3.1.5 is slowly entering Debian/unstable,
and I will probably include it in the 3.3 update as well, so please
allow me some more time for the update.
As for features of the new 3.3 and new 3.4 releases, check out aay's post of about two weeks ago (Klaus says nothing has changed).

AHHHHHH
I think Im getting Old!!!!!
I remember so well being excited about 2.4.....
It seemed like a must have - all that extra stuff built in....
Now 2.6 looks even better but Im not excited
I should be buying an AMD64 and getting 2.6 but Im just thinking about my server uptime.....
Whats wrong with me....
Could it be that discovering knoppix has distrated me or am I just getting old...

Well I'm interested in having a 2.6 kernel which is supposed to support firewire and wlan cards a lot better than at the moment. Also looking forward to updates of various packages.
And then I'm interested in seeing how Fabian has improved the installer, and if booting from firewire/USB is better/easier.
So I've got enough excitement for the both of us ;)

He he. I remember waiting for 2.0 with baited breath.... and all the talk...
First time I saw Linux it was Slackware on 12 diskettes, loaded onto a 386SX-16 with 150M HD and 4M of RAM (and lots of swap space!!!).
Feel better now? ;-)

Or something that makes my ATi work correctly in Linux. Basicly nForce2 motherboard, ATi video card and Linux all toguether... don't mix very well... I read something in a web page that if you wanted that configuration to work, a kernel recompilation was necesary... Oh well... maybe in 20 or 30 years my system will be totaly compatible with Linux

KDE 3.2
Is the release date for Knoppix 3.4, February 9th, related to the KDE 3.2 release date, February 2nd?
