     No just the latest iteration in Knoppix, I think it has a 3.18.x kernel
and is from Debian sources.  I haven't had time to do more than
boot it up and play with it.  Of course it offers LXDE as the basic
system, with KDE or GNOME choose-able from the menu.
     All the tools one might expect from each desktop environment
are available including games, development tool, and all the desktop
standards.

     Sorry I don't know Grml.
     Why don't you bring a copy to a meeting soon and
we can run them side by side if you bring a machine.
