It is not quite a polished as Fedora but giving out bootable/runable CD's is a plus. My son hands them out at school like crazy. Most of the teenagers find it easier when they can just boot a CD and play without doing an install. As a personal note. I would not mind seeing more kids getting their hands on Ubuntu disks.

Once the kids learn that, being a "Live CD," it won't FUBAR their Windows installations w/ all their games, they seem more ready to try it. When they ask me, "Where's Internet Explorer?", I then, in my best Confucius imitation, answer with the now-venerable KDE saying, "First came the Navigator, then came the Explorer, and finally, cometh...the Konqueror. Remember this, you my padawans, and thou, too, shalt grasp the Tao of Linux." That always gets a laugh out of 'em. :-) BTW, since you like CentOS, there is a CentOS version of K12LTSP. I'm using it right now to type this, and my terminal is an EtherBooting AMD K6-2/450 that I built eight years ago. Server is a dual-Athlon 1.2GHz box w/ 2GB DRAM built three years ago, and still rockin' beautifully. --TP <div class="moz-signature"> _______________________________ Do you GNU!? <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">Microsoft Free since 2003</a>--the ultimate antivirus protection! </div> </body> </html>
