What about a "feature" CD? I mean, one live CD with the basics and a few showcase apps (OpenOffice, Firefox, Evolution, etc.) and another one with more specialized applications. There could even exist different feature CDs for developers (working gcc, Eclipse, GNUstep, ...), entertainment (Photo editing, video cutting, ...) and others. The advantage of an feature CD is, you don't have to look up what applications are recommended and don't have to download/install them one by one. Just put the CD in after the first boot off the hard disk and go with a known, useful set of applications. Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.
