This space reserved for a rant about Knoppix; specifically, how in the hell is anybody supposed to reliably find all the source code for the packages it's composed of - especially when it's based on Debian testing given that (as far as I know) there's no requirement on a Debian mirror to keep all previous versions of testing around indefinitely in case Knoppix users want the sources they're entitled to. Given how much of this stuff is GPLed, the commercial distributors (if not Knopper himself) are going to have a pretty unpleasant time of it when RMS finds out.

apt-get on the filesystem which will one day be the cirCLe CD (rather, disc 1 of the two disc circle cd set) has just decided it wants to upgrade over 100Mb of stuff. So, whether it will still actually work when it's burnt to CD, who knows?
