As for getting the cd, some sellers ship internationally.
Very few sellers would ship to Oman(middle east). Even if they do,by the time it reaches here there will be a new version.

I do not want to compare it with windows as this would just be a never ending debate.( I work as a Biomedical Engineer in a large university hospital here and I am yet to see a medical equipment which uses linux as OS if it is really stable).

In my opinion windows is not stable but neither is linux or knoppix.

Please don't get me wrong ,I still like knoppix-seems the easiest distro of all. Have not gone to the next step though-installing it to the HD. That is the reasoin for this question/post.
