This new version of ExTiX Linux Live DVD includes the 2.6.11 kernel by default, KDE 3.4.1, OpenOffice.org 2.0, KOffice, Emacs, Gimp 2.2.8, Qcad, AMSN, Kopete (Instant Messenger), Konversation (IRC Chat), aMule (filesharing - you will automatically be connected to the best servers), Firefox 1.0.6, Mozilla 1.7.8,Thunderbird 1.0.2, Kino, Xmovie,Totem Movie Player, Rosegarden4 (Music Editor), Bittornado, Wine, gFTP, Kbear and Vsftpd.

The exciting news, however, is the addition of UnionFS. UnionFS stacks your Knoppix ramdisk on top of the read-only filesystem on the DVD, the effect being that you can apt-get install, and otherwise modify all of the files on the running system as though they were all writeable.

Changes can be stored too (even on NTFS). The standard KDE-language is English. You can, however, easily change language (and keyboard layout) to Swedish, Danish, Finnish or Norwegian. (Go to Menu >> Control Center >> Country >> Keyboard Layouts).
