Knoppix 5.0.1: A solid live DVD (Linux.com)

[Posted November 2, 2006 by cook]

Linux.com reviews the Knoppix 5.0.1 live CD/DVD distribution. "In the changes department, users of older Knoppix releases will appreciate the newer kernel, newer Xorg, even better hardware detection, newer KDE and GNOME, newer (and better) installer, and, generally speaking, newer everything. The amount of included software really can't be quantified in just words and figures. You get bundles of software for every KDE menu category, ranging from Education/Edutainment, Games, Toys, Multimedia, and Internet to Graphics, Development, Utilities, and System Tools."

Writes to NTFS

And more important than that--to me, anyway--is its ability to safely WRITE to NTFS filesystems! No loading or downloading of Windows DLLs or anything else. It just works.
