Right now there is 7.0.5 and 7.2.0, so if you want the latest then skip over the 7.0.x files. There are often at least two releases available for download, sometimes more depending on what has changed and how recently.If you are just looking for the latest standard release of Knoppix, simply skip over the ADRIANE files. If you think you might be interested in that version, check the link above for more information. ADRIANE is a special Knoppix version ( Audio Desktop Reference Implementation and Networking Environment), another example of the "experience counts" I mentioned above.I found the file list on the download site to be a bit confusing, so let me see if I can paraphrase it simply: I have downloaded both the CD and DVD images, so that I could compare them. I have noticed in the last few years that more and more people are bringing dual-boot systems with both Windows and Linux, but that still doesn't eliminate the advantages of Live CD/DVD distributions of Knoppix (and Kali), because it is way more convenient to have a complete, bootable distribution with all the specific tools needed for the class ready to go, rather than to have to download and install them on whatever Linux system you brought along. Those classes require attendees to bring their own laptops, and until a few years ago the majority of them would be running Windows. My first use of Knoppix came at SANS training classes, where they were using the Live CD version as a convenient way for course participants to gain access to Linux tools. Rather than drop the Live CD version, however, both formats have been maintained since then, with the CD version as a "small/fast/easy" alternative, and the DVD version as an "everything including the kitchen sink" alternative. In about 2005 a Live DVD version was added, with loads of additional applications, utilities and packages included. Over the years, Knoppix has evolved and expanded.
