[klug] An idea for Thursday

Seems to me like we may have at least two newbies along visiting "just 
looking" as well as us not having a particular focus (or did I miss 
something?). Whatever we do on Thursday should be aimed at entertaining 
newbies and also the more experienced.

Why don't we download some ISO's of all the various Live-CD distros... 
I'm thinking maybe the Games ones, the Educational ones, the latest 
Knoppix and the like. We could "showcase" the live CD's around the room 
by having them running on the boxes surrounding the class. I think 
newbies would be very interested by this and the more experienced would 
at least be curious as long as the live CD's cover a good variety.

...and then, if someone would be able to supply a box with a ripper, 
perhaps we could have a burning session where we copy the Live CDs by 
request? Maybe a "I'll give you two blank CD's for each one you burn for 
me me " or similar deal? This way, we could show the newbies about 
running boot disks and give them something they can immediately take 
away and play with as well.

Just a floating idea. Do people agree / disagree? Any particular Live CD 
distros people are curious about seeing?

Lancer.
