The latest version of Knoppix
represents a radical remake of the venerable Live CD Linux
distribution. Knoppix 6.0 is leaner, faster, and more versatile than
ever. In addition to that, the new version brings another significant
improvement: the amazingly fast boot process. Even when Knoppix runs
from a CD, it takes less than a minute to boot to the graphical
desktop. More importantly, the improved boot process doesn’t affect
Knoppix’ legendary hardware detection capabilities.
The latest version of Knoppix is based on LXDE,
a lightweight graphical desktop environment, and it is lightning fast
even on low-end machines and netbooks. Unlike previous versions,
Knoppix 6.0 comes with a trimmed software bundle, but key productivity
applications like OpenOffice.org, Iceweasel (aka Firefox), Icedove (aka
Thunderbird), Pidgin, and the GIMP are still there.
