Fun with Knoppix
In this issue of Linux.Ars we're featuring a review of Knoppix Hacks, written by our very own Linux.Ars contributor Kyle Rankin. We'll also delve into the commercialization of open source projects, managing network interface naming with ifrename, and organizing your library with Alexandria. Knoppix Hacks, written by our very own Linux.Ars contributor Kyle "greenfly" Rankin, delves deep into the heart of Knoppix and shows how to use this "veritable Swiss Army knife in CD form" with a deadly and cunning accuracy. Even if you've never heard of Knoppix, you probably recogonize the "ix" suffix in the name as iconic of Unix. Linus begat Linux and Klaus Knopper begat Knoppix. Knoppix, like Linux, resulted from curiousity and personal need. Since its creation it, has morphed into something much larger than its founding vision, in large part due to Linux and the free software movement. Don't let this relationship deter you from exploring Knoppix. Knoppix may be based on Linux and open source software, but is something anyone can use.
