Debian. KNOPPIX. -=> KNOPPER.NET News <=- KNOPPIX 4.0.1 Released Starting from version 4.0, the KNOPPIX-project has been split into a DVD "maxi" edition, and a "KNOPPIX light" on CD, both developed in parallel. The limited, printed first edtion of the KNOPPIX 4.0 DVD (booting in german by default) has been available at LinuxTag 2005 at different booths, and is now available for download as updated 4.0.1 release on most KNOPPIX Mirrors.

For those with insufficient bandwidth for downloading the 3.5GB DVD image, there is still the possibility to order a copy at some independent CD and DVD shops. Because of many updates and technical improvements in the meantime since the 4.0 DVD, work on the Knoppix "light" CD release has been delayed somewhat. The CD version will be released in a few days from now, and will also be available for download at the usual locations on the KNOPPIX Mirrors soon.

CrunchBang. Ubuntu. Zorin. LinuxMint. LinuxMint Debian. Important links LMDE in brief Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is a semi-rolling distribution based on Debian Testing. It’s available in both 32 and 64-bit as a live DVD with MATE or Cinnamon. The purpose of LMDE is to look identical to the main edition and to provide the same functionality while using Debian as a base. 1. Is LMDE compatible with Ubuntu-based Linux Mint editions? No, it is not. 2. Yes, 100%. 3. Updates are constantly fed to Debian Testing, where users experience frequent regressions but also frequent bug fixes and improvements. 4. Pros: You don’t need to ever re-install the system. Cons: LMDE requires a deeper knowledge and experience with Linux, dpkg and APT.
