    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? ;-)

    nVidia driver

    Any chance that the nVidia Linux 2.6 driver will be included in Knoppix 3.4?

    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

    No. I think the nividia license allows for such distribution, but Kluas is not persuaded. Kano or Fabianix may have an install script for it however as they did for 2.4.x
