At CeBIT 2006, a preview of Knoppix 5 was introduced, which has now been updated with the new Kernel and udev hotplug management. The new version includes a few bugfixes and KDE 3.5.2. Version 5.0.1 will be available for download on the public mirrors and (the DVD version only) inside the 07/06 issue of the german PC Welt magazine. At the same time together with the DVD edition, a CD version with somewhat reduced content ("Best of Desktop applications") will be published on the mirrors.
