Thanks, Actually the version of Knoppix I have is DVD with Debian also on the DVD. So there would be plenty space for Goodies.
I would also like to know if Alan is alright. And hope he gets well soon.

I'm in the same situation as you about Croquet but I've seen on the web site of the C5 "International Conference on Creating Connecting and Collaborating through Computing" that Andreas Raab and David Smith made a presentation about it last thursday ( I wish I was there ...) I'd like to learn more about it too :-) Please ...

is excellent. It's the best linux product I've used for the hardware detection (I can even use my usb external hard disk and usb graphics tablet). I would love to have Squeak and Croquet work like that. Has

I use Knoppix and I find it great too, a lot of themes live distros are emerging based on it( and it doesn't seem to be too complexe to actualy make them).
In France the "ofset" association is doing a live CD called "Freeduc" based on knoppix with free and open sources scientific educationnal tools for math and science education (primary to superior levels). They also develop interseting open source softwares for this distro like Dr Geo ( a great 2D geometry program witten in Scheme I believe). http://www.ofset.org/freeduc-cd/ It's in English, Spanish (hello LinEx friends :-) ), Italien, and "bien sur" French. They now won the support of UNESCO for the translations and distributions of the live CD in schools. It would be great if Squeak would be on it if there is no issues over licences. They seem to be GPL oriented. I'll try to contact them on this (I'm a new member). Anyway a Squeak live distro + friends (croquet, scratch, tweak ?) + tutorials + free books would be great (especially for Linux since Squeak installation doesn't seem very easy).
On the the C5 web site I've seen that Alan Kay key notes has been canceled due "to his sudden illness". Can someone reassure me he has nothing serious in the long term. I really think we need to keep him in good health !
"Bonsoir"
