Knoppix--9.1 of 2021

Knoppix-9.1 of 2021

I ran Knoppix on MultiSystem USB stick.

It needs a Persistent Volume.

Abiword is not there but LibreOffice is there.

I cannot install new application on a MultiSystem USB but if my memory is right in good old days (it is only two years back) on a USB dedicated for Knoppix, I could do that.

I have been using Knoppix from 3.1 or may be 3.9.

I have several USB sticks with OLD Knoppix versions.

It is gone dormant for two years and I hope they come out of slumber and support SNAP and FlatPak.

I am publishing this from a Live Post.

Strangely enough, after my scathing remarks, Google had let me sign on with Gmail on a Live Session.

If they did not I would have logged in with Yahoo Mail.

By the way, Knoppix let me log in with Yahoo Mail without key or without cellphone verification.

Thank YOU, Yahoo.

Thank YOU Knoppix.

By the way, Knoppix got me to sign in with a Root Password.

Many of the other Linux Distribution do not allow this password facility.

That is why Universities FEAR students using their own UNregistered USB sticks.

I used this policy and through SAMBA students had to use a USER Name and a Password.

I used Putty to monitor students misusing University facilities, other than for academic activities and sports.

I think students were interested in downloading pirated old films.

Long before I was interested in Copyright Law, I myself did download films like French Connection and God Father.

It was a trade in India and Ceylon to download films and sell them with an attractive cover for Rs.100/=.

I burned all of those CD/DVDs a decade or so ago.

Interestingly all the Microsoft and Windows copies were pirated.

During the time I used Microsoft I had twp paid copies.

Now that I use LibreOffice and Linux, I do not have to pay Windows a fee every year.
