Why, they are donating lots of bandwidth, so why not give them a bit of advertising revenue? Plus, isn't it cool that even a site called _win_... hosts Knoppix? ;)

Here's a screenshot of the Knoppix 3.6.B DVD for Windows that's being seeded at http://linuxtracker.org . You can pick '.torrent' files for all my isos from http://home.btconnect.com/chrisandcarolyn/torrents/

its good that there donating bandwidth and its cool that even a site with win in its domain is hosting it. but i do not take kindly to sites that use popups. one day its popups next day its browser exploits forceing dialers onto your computer. i dont mind sites using small adverts thats perfectly moral in my eyes, but popups is where i draw the lines. i wouldnt feel moral if i was to put popups in any of my sites.Quote:

i can block most popups no problem.but people are getting past firefox nowadays.
just because i can filter out spam emails doesnt mean its ok for people to send them.
same goes for popups
Here is an interesting performance comparison of Knoppix 3.7 vs 3.8.
On a laptop with a Mobile Celeron 1.8GHz CPU running mprime (GIMPS distributed project, I am seeing a big performance difference.
I wonder if this is a change in the Linux kernel itself or in some Knoppix software such as power management?
Using Knoppix 3.8 I get 0.083 seconds per iteration.
Using Knoppix 3.7 with the 2.4 kernel I get 0.073 seconds per iteration, which is a huge difference.
If I use Knoppix 3.7 with the 2.6 kernel I get 0.080 seconds.
Any idea what might be causing this slowdown and how I might go about changing it? By defaul mprime runs with nice 19, but even if I change the priority back down to 0, the speed remains the same. I am not doing anything else on the laptop in either case.
A bit more info. Trying this out on a P4 3.0Ghz desktop machine, there is a much smaller difference between Knoppix using the 2.4 and 2.6 kernel. About 0.001 seconds per iteration difference, so I'm wondering if this has more to do with the power management/CPU throttling support in Knoppix 3.8? Any clues?
Can kpx 3.8 save files on NTFS? How can I turn it on?

try the capture ntfs scrip from the knoppux menu. But be careful...Quote:
