Knoppix can be downloaded for free from KNOPPIX, and is available in either English or German language versions. After you download the ISO image,
just burn it with your favorite CD Burning program (such as Ahead Nero). If you have a slow Internet connection, then you can order the CD from
vendors (same link as above) for about $3 to $5 USD. In this article, Knoppix Linux version 3.3, which was released Feb 9 2004, is reviewed.
