"Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions"


There is no big company behind KNOPPIX, and development efforts continue to be headed up by
Knopper himself. There are, however, many people who contribute bug reports and enhancement
requests (see www.knoppix.net/wiki/bugs), and there are other developers who have helped
create software specifically for KNOPPIX (in particular, Fabian Franz who, among other things, has
contributed significant work to KNOPPIX installer-related features).
The only official KNOPPIX Web site is Knopper??™s own personal site: www.knopper.net/knoppix/
index-en.html. If you are looking for a way to get information and become involved with
others who use and develop the system, the Knoppix.net site offers a very active forum and links
to information about other KNOPPIX resources. It??™s a great place not only to get your questions
answered, but also to find a wealth of links to FAQs, HOWTOs, and related projects. There is also
an IRC channel (#knoppix on irc.freenode.net) and a wiki used primarily to gather documentation
(www.knoppix.net/wiki/Main_Page).
