Knoppix is based on a Debian unstable distribution, but includes some
non-standard .deb packages. Knoppix can be updated to a nearly full Debian
installation using "apt-get dist-upgrade".
In the same field, there is also a distribution called Morphix
(http://www.morphix.org), which shares code with Knoppix.
In my opinion, Morphix seems to be more interesting as their team works on
various installation programs like:
- disk partitioner,
- installer to disk,
- GUI to create a distribution.
(some are only available in CVS)
Like Hiroshi wrote, many people are looking for a distro gathering all
software needed to demonstrate, install and administrate PostgreSQL
databases...
Looking at Morphix, sometimes I am not sure that PostgreSQL really needs a
Windows port. I really don't know now. Before I used to "know". Now, I know
that I don't know.
Of course, on the short term, PostgreSQL needs a Windows port. A Windows port
can multiply the number of users by five immediately.
But on the long run, maybe 10 years, MS Windows will simply disappear. The
advance of GNU/Linux is now like an exponential curve.
Even my neighbours, who are 50 years old, look at Morphix and Synaptic and say
"Whaooo, please install them".
Cheers,
Jean-Michel
