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 . . .
