Knoppix 5 Review
Gnuman.com is back with a review of the new Knoppix 5 release. Most likely this is the CeBit edition, as the final 5.0 release is not out yet.
KNOPPIX 5.0 Cebit Released
The Cebit release of Knoppix 5.0 is out. Now we have to wait for someone to purchase it, make an ISO file, and upload it to a bittorrent tracker site (which I believe is legal). The “normal” 5.0 LiveCD and LiveDVD versions will be released to mirrors a couple weeks after Cebit, at the earliest.
The KNOPPIX 5.0 Live DVD contains some major changes in the unionfs-based file system, new hardware detection and autoconfiguration, and a more “genuine Debian” oriented selection of packages. Apart from this, the harddisk install option (“knoppix-installer”) has been extended by Martin Öhler, based on the work of Fabian Franz, featuring a “live update” of specific packages from a new version of the live DVD or CD.
Other important features include safe WRITE access to NTFS partitions using libntfs+fuse. This is something everyone who works with Windows machines will benefit from.

Book Review: Knoppix Hacks
InfoWorld has a short review of Knoppix Hacks, my personal favorite LiveCD book.
The Expandable, Versatile MadTux LivePC
LXer has a review of the MadTux Knoppix LivePC, an affordable retail PC sold with Knoppix as the OS.
The LivePC runs off a USB key, and can be expanded to serve a variety of needs. I could sum up the LivePC in just three words, “it just works”. Still, let’s see what we’re getting and how well it works.
