knoppix and liveCDs..

tinman on 2004-06-30T20:10:10

I noticed with more than a little dismay that Knoppix had decided to drop LaTex support in their latest version of the liveCD. Since I wanted to carry around a liveCD to pop into any random machine and work on my thesis while I'm on holiday in London, a bit of searching for an alternative ensued this afternoon.

The result: Quantian, a Knoppix based LiveCD distro specifically targetted to scientific and mathematical types..just what I needed. They even carry Kile. Woot!.

Is this an emergency?

Thanks, nicholas. I was wondering about the best way to ask if I could come join.. I looked at Orkut, but the Londom.pm community seems to be dormant/silent :) I'll probably be there..

It's very simple. You just mail the london.pm list saying when you're in London and demand to be taken to a pub. And everyone thinks that this is an excellent idea, someone nominates a pub, and an emergency social happens.
