No offence, but I was hoping for an unofficial statement from someone on the Knoppix team. If you're downloading 3.7 with the rest of us, then I'd guess that you don't exactly have the inside scoop.

that's why i said "personally" ... as in it's just my opinion.

to me it just makes sense that a promotional edition the magazine may have paid for distribution rights to wouldn't be available through the standard channels. (just like the special linuxtag 3.5 dvd edition wasn't.) not to mention that the main Knoppix page announcing 3.7 as "Exclusive KNOPPIX Version 3.7 in PC-Welt magazine" makes the official position fairly plain.

So if this is such a promotional version of Knoppix, it might never be released. Computer Magazines usually use such CDs to attract buyer of the magazine - I'm not so sure that they want to see the CDs freely distributed.

Anyway, I don't really understand the hurry to run after a new release. Nowadays you can use the latest stable one and update it using apt-get easily - if you really need to be on the latest version of anything....
