I would if I could, as I am not satisfied with certain proprietary software (which will not be named). but without actual support, Knoppix is just a curiosity. I will wait for the day when a real, viable alternative becomes available. :cry:

What is actual support ? There are commercial linux distro too. Or you can try ubuntu that is definitely new kids in the block. With the much enhanced hardware detection(even found in newer debian), Knoppix is quickly returning back to its original use, quick boot live CD for rescue and the like, not a permanent desktop.Quote:

On a practical note, it seems as though both forums have many of the same participants.Quote:
