[News] Review of Knoppix 5.3.1 in New Issue of Linux Gazette

Knoppix 5.3.1

,----[ Quote ]
| At the recent CeBIT computer fair, Klaus Knopper finally released a new 
| version of his popular Knoppix live-CD/DVD variety of GNU/Linux. The initial 
| version was fine for the CeBIT crowd but had some problems, the most obvious 
| of which was a mixture of languages in menus if you booted with the 
| parameter "lang=" (by the way, it is now "lang=us" rather than "lang=en"; 
| this will take getting used to after many years of using "lang=en".)

Who needs Windows Vista when you can have Knoppix 5.1.1 Live DVD?

| Well, in the first place there is no comparison between the two.
| In fact, there can't be any. Why? Simply because, Windows Vista
| is plain Operating system, with very little bundled apps. Whereas,
| Knoppix is complete Operating System bundled with hundreds of
| software that ranges from games to office!
| 
| When you install Windows Vista (it requires whopping 6.7GB hard
| disk space at a bare minimum!), what you will get is - much hyped
| 3D aqua Desktop, a so-called secure operating system that bugs you
| to hell - by asking for every stupid task to Continue. In addition
| to that, It had about a dozen utilities such as paint, notepad,
| wordpad and a few games.
