What makes Overclockix different from Knoppix?

Software selection- karamba, mplayer, firebird, ncftp, gFTP, folding@home, seti@home, prime95, cpuburn, nano, john, mldonkey-gui, and others... (some releases have opera and thunderbird as well)

Often removed are- gnumeric, koffice, abiword, qcad, zile, gedit, xemacs, emacs, mozilla, and more...

Whenever something is a bit out of date and a new feature is needed, I update it. For example gaim needed an update a few months ago when msn and yahoo changed protocols. K3b got updated with an 11.x version that had better support for dvd-burning. It's not always the case, but usually at least a few packages in Overclockix are newer than the current knoppix release.

Desktop tweaking- fantasy-art/space background images, extra png icon themes, karamba themes, pre-configured transperancy

Modified default boot options- higher default resolution, and usually home=scan also are set by default.

Extra drivers- Nforce2 chipset and a few others; mostly network cards.



What is Overclockix lacking?

Developers. Right now my releases have become riddled with a few little bugs (mainly broken kmenus) and I haven't had enough time to patch them up. It's a hard task for one person to maintain a Live CD, especially at the pace that Knoppix grows. It is time-consuming and pays nothing (though its not thankless work by any means).
