Knoppix version 4.0.2CD-2005-09-23-EN is the most recent English CD 
version of KNOPPIX. This is the long awaited CD edition of the highly 
popular KNOPPIX 4 on DVD. I didn't like Knoppix 3.9 so I am very happy 
to see this release.

For specific information on how the version are different, you can read 
the changelog...

If you happen to have plenty of leadtime ubuntu has been known to ship cds 
to conferences free of cost. For example, the Ohio LinuxFest 
(http://www.ohiolinux.org) gave away a couple hundred Ubuntu CDs in 
Columbus Ohio, October 1, 2005.

All of the best Don. Please let us know what you decide to do.

Thanks,
