End of month Linux news...
Time to update this worthless blog! It looks like KNOPPIX Version 5.0 DVD has been released at CeBIT but I also bittorrented the Engish ISO image and dumped it on wuarchive for folks to pick up and try. There is also a copy of Accelerated KNOPPIX there, hacked by some Japanese folks to make KNOPPIX boot faster. It seems to work pretty well. The KANOTIX folks also released a 2006 CeBIT version of their updated CD version with KDE 3.5.1 which can be found here . As for my former favorite distro, MEPIS , they have made news by deciding to use Ubuntu as their base distribution instead of just plain Debian. Frankly I think that is a fine idea since I have been using Ubuntu now as my new standard distro now anyway. Since the "Dapper Drake" version of Ubuntu should be finalized up here in a couple months (due June 1, 2006) I am sure a new MEPIS should be arriving shortly afterwards. When is does I will post it on my MEPIS mirror on wuarchive .
