Just some days after the release of Knoppix 3.0, a beta version of Debian testing+unstable based Knoppix 3.1 is now available. Featuring kernel 2.4.19-rc3-xfs, KDE 3.0.2 and GNOME 2, it is the first major feature update after version 2.2. According to the changelog, version 3.0 was a special release for the German Information Security Agency (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik BSI) - essentially, a version 2.2 with some "BSI-specific changes". Knoppix 3.1 final is expected to arrive before September 14.

Knoppix is a fully functional and usable Linux system running completely from a single bootable CD without requiring a hard disc or hard disc access due to on-the-fly decompression.
