'KNOPPIX 8.6 is now available based on the software repositories of
the recently released Debian GNU/Linux 10 "Buster" operating system
series, but also packing some elements from the Debian Uunstable (Sid)
repos. It's powered by the latest Linux 5.2 kernel series and X.Org
Server 7.7 display server to support newer graphics cards and computer
hardware.

Best of all, Knoppix 8.6 is shipping with both 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels to support old and new computers. The 64-bit version of
KNOPPIX 8.6 supports machines with more than 4GB of RAM (system
memory), as well as chroot into 64-bit installations for system rescue
tasks. Moreover, the bootloader starts the 64-bit kernel automatically
whenever a 64-bit CPU is detected.'
