Original OSNews Interviews It's easy to grow increasingly cynical the more you follow "innovation" in operating systems and software. New releases often turn out to be nothing more than reinventing, or repackaging, the wheel, with new icons and steeper system requirements. Yet every now and then persistence pays off and that lengthy download or poorly written web site delivers something truly amazing and faith in the future of computing is, albeit temporarily, restored. I experienced such a sensation a couple of months ago when I downloaded the CD-ROM based, Linux distribution known as Knoppix.

I have some suggestions.

Don't require the suer to press enter to boot, makea graphical boot splash like in SuSE Live and include a KDE with ncie icons and a nice theme. Futhermoe please categorize items in the menu, it needs a lot of worka nd some apps ahve no icons. Moreover include configuration tools from Mandrake and Redhat rebranded. I really need to at least set my refresh rate higher.


OTHERWISE GREAT PRODUCT, fastest boot ever froma cd disitribution. While SuSE LIVE 8.1 is IMO better once you reach the KDE GUI, it is nowhere as fsat to get there. I have to go through liek 8 configuration screens on it. But, i do ahve more control, however I would rather it jsut worked well from the beggining and tha allowed em to change stuff in the end.
