Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. Knoppix is great and it's good to see a favorable review by a non-technical type. It would have been better if it had included such simple things as the version used, the hardware installed on, and the type of errors encountered. I have booted and installed older versions with few if any errors. I'm currently doing a test install of 3.2 on some old hardware - the bootup was without incident and the only install errors so far are a whole bunch of cp errors in /usr/share/doc, which probably means these files were stripped from the CD while leaving the directory structure intact.

As far as Debian is concerned, I was one of the very early users and I have revisited it several times since. It is a good, stable distribution and my hat is off to all of the faithful developers that create it. However, it is not cutting edge and it still needs a product such as Knoppix to shield the user from the horendous install / update procedure.

Knoppix and Bitstream Fonts
by James on Friday 11/Jul/2003, @08:50

Please don't flame me, I'm totally new to this. I had tried Knoppix a long time ago and liked it except the "unprofessional" look of the fonts. It may have to do with antialiasing. My understanding was that the new free Bitstream fonts (which are included in the latest distro) would solve this. But it hasn't. Maybe they are not enabled by default?

The desktop fonts look fine but if you do things in OpenOffice or other apps, they look bad. The antialiasing and font spacing look bad.

Is there a way around this?

This is an old comment, But I'l Answer anyway,

Goto the Knoppix settings in control room (or whaterver it's called), got fonts and click Anti-Aliasing.

Problem solved.
