New Distros Out

Frugalware, KateOS, and Knoppix Live CD 4.0 all came out today (or at least they were all listed on Distrowatch today).

I haven’t heard of Frugalware before but it appears (from the one review on Distrowatch) to be a minimal distor that has speed and stability as its strength. Looks like it was originally based on Slackware but now is on its own development path.

I’m not sure what KateOS’s strengths are. Their webpage reads like typical marketing stuff.

Knoppix…well…Knoppix rocks :)

    I received my copy of Knoppix 4.0 DVD, and It plays beautifully. However, I need the administrative password to access the network controls. Where oh where can it be. Please if I’m to stay sane over the week-end I need that password.

    Apprently there isn’t a root password. Check out this forum link from the Knoppix forums:
