I downloaded the current Live CD a week ago. It is based on Ubuntu.
Sage runs perfect, but functionality beside this is limited.

I recently compiled Sage for Puppy Linux. This is a very small but
very complete Linux Distribution.
It has Office Applications, Webbrowser/emailclient, Geany-IDE,
Multimediasupport and Lots of Utilities (e.g. Gparted). I try to
proove that it makes a good base distro for big packages like sage.

I have a prototype of a Sage Live CD working (692 MB). It includes

Sage
Sage documentation
Latex (with Lyx editor)
octave
gnuplot
jsmath fonts
wine

and all applications and programs of the standard Puppy Linux
distribution. I think this could be a nice
tool for education/teaching and generally help to distribute sage.
Puppy Linux has despite the small size a very complete set off
hardware drivers and easy to use setup and install utilities (e.g.
install Sage Live CD to USB stick).

Currently I try to figure out how sage uses Java and if it is possible
to access this from outside of Sage.
Same goes for the ipython environment. For a 700 MB CD I currently
have 8 MB space left.
I would also like to include some flashy Sage demos (possibly with
good graphics).

I could upload my prototype to a filehost, if you are interested in
testing it?

regards,
emil
