Hi everybody!
In case none of you have heard, there is a "gamers edition" of Knoppix that was just released by PC Games Hardware Magazine. It's some German mag that I have never heard of.
Anyway, I'm trying to find a download of the release, but haven't had any luck so far. Does anyone here subscribe to this mag, or know where to get a download of the distro?

Oh, and as far as I know this is a free distro release. It may be covered by some publishers agreement or something, but as far as I can tell it's a normal Linux distro that should be perfectly legal to distribute. I could be wrong though, in which case a mod may want to lock this...
EDIT: Here's the text from the Distrowatch Weekly.

The developers of the Knoppix project have built a new specialist live CD catering to gamers: "In the current German PCH Hardware magazine, you can find a Knoppix PCGH-Edition of Knoppix, which is graphics-accelerated and preconfigured for over 30 games." Although the CD is only released as part of the magazine and not available for download (not yet, anyway), it is nice to see that a mainstream gaming magazine is giving exposure to Linux as a gaming platform. Hopefully, it will also bring in a few new converts.
