It's 3.2 from a coverdisc, I was surprised that it had no problems with my laptop and it's neomagic video/audio which IIRC earlier versions of Mandrake did, but then it failed on my PC, or perhaps I would be more correct in saying my PC failed it. Having had a quick look at the Knoppix forums it appears that some flat panels or flat panel/graphics card combinations do not work well but there are "cheats" as they refer to them to get them working, as I said I've not really looked at it , when I have time I will set about it properly. -- http://www.poogle.co.uk
