Hehe. Sounds good. Now get those bittorrent feeds rolling people.

Seriously, anyone in Germany who can set up a bittorrent link when these become available would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

Can't wait to see how this is implemented.
This will make the static "live CD" truly live!

I see from the first message that:

> The new version of KNOPPIX will be available
> as a printed edition at CeBit 2004, 18.-24.3.2004,

Which is tomorrow, so I was wondering when will it be available online. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tim

Klaus usually only puts it up a week or two after the conference that's why I suggested that somone at CeBit put up a bittorrent link. I suspect that someone will and hopefully they'll post the news somewhere in the forums.
