Knoppix 5.3, after pausing for a year, was presented at CeBIT, in Hannover, Germany. Softpedia published a short review of the new distribution.
Knoppix is a bootable Live CD or DVD, made up from the most popular and useful free and open source applications, backed up by an automatic hardware detection and support for many video cards, SCSI and USB devices and a lot of peripherals. Thanks to the high compression it uses, the CD can have up to 2 GB of software installed on it, and the DVD can have over 8 GB on the ‘Maxi’ edition.
