New PC Linux Knoppix 6.3 to be Launched at CeBIT

Knopper will present his feature packed software bundle daily on the Open Source Forum, Hall 2, booth F38.
Compared with its forerunner, Knoppix 6.3 has been completely re-worked and come with added applications like Google Chrome.
The live distro Knoppix offers users the choice of three Linux desktops. Knopper has also included extra drivers, e.g., for Nvidia graphic cards.
