Knoppix 7.7

[MrNovi]

Before anyone starts jumping up and down demanding the public edition should be available for download it is as well to remember that past experience is that the .1 public edition does not usually appear till later, (maybe as late as September). The benefit of the wait is you get some bugs fixed. Klaus Knopper releases when he is ready.

Well it's October now and no release. Is there any update on when it will be available? I think that we've been patient for several months and requesting an update is not unreasonable.

Knoppix 7.7.1 is almost ready (still testing)

[MrNovi]

Thanks for that. If he needs any testers contact me. I have lot's of free time (retired) and a lot of different computers of varying hardware specs going back to Pentium 2's to test on.

It is only a beta? Then I shall wait for the final version.

philo, I don't remember him having released any Beta's openly in the last several years so I imagine this is a final version, or as final as it's going to get. He is always refining his releases.

Werner has posted the official 7.4.1 mirror list.

7.4.1 Linux Presentation Day Version was an immediately prior version for german-language Linux user groups,
probably not intended for general consumption.
