Darn nice work!

I just had to try it out... so I installed Kanotix into VirtualBox. My virtual OS #20, but who's counting?



The first thing I installed was Synaptic Package Manager. KPackage is too... something. But, yeah, Kanotix is a good distro.

My virtual OS #19 is another Knoppix derivative, by the way... Sidux. There go the updates... with Synaptic, of course:



KDE is nice, but there is a limit to how much a gnomie can take... so I installed GNOME... ahhh! Much better :



I love Linux!

Either search and install it with KPackage... or open the terminal, and...

Code:
$ su <enter your root passwd> # apt-get install synaptic

Just two small points about your walkthrough . No title and no pictures . Without pictures you'll loose over 99% of your audience after the first full stop .

"The sound works just fine though maybe a little gravelly . Could just be Tom Waits though ."

If it ain't... open terminal, and type "kmix":



See the loudspeaker icon next to clock? Double click on that... experiment with "Master" and "PCM" levels.

Oh, and... the loudspeaker icon is bound to be there even after reboot.

You have done a good job of showing one of the best linux distros off ... in my opinion ...... a lot opt for Ubuntu.

But I have found that same as you ...... everything that you need can easily be loaded up and run.

I have run the old version of Kanotix for quite a long time now and it gives me a lot of programs that run very fast for 3d design work etc.

Gimp and Blender are two very good programs also Wings3d for drawing designing animation etc.

Also if you like games try Tremulous out, 3d graphics ......

Ok just thought I'd pop by ........
