Knoppix 5 - Very Cool

[Tenacious]

I have just tried my first Linux.  I'm still chasing the perfect companion to my Amigas.  The Knoppix 5 DVD seems to have every program a person could want and a wide choice of user interfaces (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, etc).  Knoppix comes on a live DVD, so there is no need to install it on a HD just to try it.

There is no doubt where Knopper got his start.  There is a woman's voice, "Initiating startup sequence", as the system loads.  She comes on again as the system shuts down. I know very little about Linux as yet, but, I dont think there is a "Startup.Sequence".  

I haven't found it on the DVD yet, but, Worker is Linux DIR utility, a virtual clone of Dopus 4.x!

Thanks for the info.  Were you involved with OVAUG when it was still in existance?

What I said was that Klaus Knopper (the developer of Knoppix) got his start on the Amiga.  The first release on Knoppix was in 2000.  What I hope to see while exploring Knoppix 5 is other traces of the Amiga's philosophy or some of those things that make me love Amiga computing so much.  Grin.  The program "Worker" is a nice start.
