In a recent article, Klaus Knopper (the creator of Knoppix) was asked if
he was approached by SuSE or Redhat regarding his work - he said NO but
would welcome it . . .

Maybe we can convince Klaus that contributing to Mandrake would be a
good idea?  Or at least the Mandrake staff could try Knoppix themselves
and dissect what he did and maybe learn a thing or two . . .

I believe his Knoppix CD is based on Debian . . .

Cheers,
