We have made three versions of such CD based on Knoppix. one for
schools, one for college and one for office use, all of them support
Indian Languages.  We will keep them for download by the end of May. 
the students who did the work are busy in finishinng their exams.  If we
have time we will remake the versions on Knoppix 3.4 and then release. 
Any of you willing to give us feebdack and testing, please send your
emails and postal address to me, I will mail the CDs to you.
