KNOPPIX Live GNU/Linux System Is Now Based on Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster”

KNOPPIX 8.6 is now available based on the software repositories of the recently released Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster” operating system series, but also packing some elements from the Debian Uunstable (Sid) repos. It’s powered by the latest Linux 5.2 kernel series and X.Org Server 7.7 display server to support newer graphics cards and computer hardware. Best of all, Knoppix 8.6 is shipping with both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to support old and new computers. The 64-bit version of KNOPPIX 8.6 supports machines with more than 4GB of RAM (system memory), as well as chroot into 64-bit installations for system rescue tasks. Moreover, the bootloader starts the 64-bit kernel automatically whenever a 64-bit CPU is detected.
