KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a Linux demo, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it.
The public download edition of 3.6 of KNOPPIX is now available via Bittorrent, and on the Knoppix-Mirrors. Some of the new features include:
- Linux Kernel 2.4.27 and, as a boot option, Kernel 2.6.7, both ACPI-enabled.
- KDE version 3.2.3.
- GIMP version 2.0.
- enhanced hardware autodetection and driver updates,
- the FreeNX server from Fabian Franz,
- ndiswrapper for loading proprietary drivers for wireless network cards.
