As announced earlier in the LinuxTag 2012 highlight-report Kanotix offers an update release for Hellfire and a preview to Dragonfire:

Kanotix Hellfire 2012-05 is based on the current Debian stable release (Debian "squeeze" 6.0.5) with KDE 4.5.5, whereas Kanotix Dragonfire Preview 2012-05 is based on the upcoming Debian "wheezy" 7 (with KDE 4.8.3 backports) and offers a preview to the next major version of Kanotix.

Check out the full Release Announcement at kanotix.com for more details and download links.

I've updated my KDE 4.8 backport for Debian wheezy to KDE 4.8.3 - as usual it contains amd64 and i386 packages and it's now based on the Kubuntu quantal KDE-packages.

Another addition to the Kanotix Dragonfire repository is XBMC with PVR, its xvdr-addon and vdr-plugin-xvdr:

apt-get install xbmc xbmc-addon-xvdr vdr-plugin-xvdr
