Agreed. I think it's an excellent idea.

Jono Bacon said something similar in this months Linux Format. There is  
the OpenCD (http://theopencd.sunsite.dk/) but I don't like some of the 
software choices on it. One produced by us would be much better.

It doesn't neccesarly need to cost much to produce.

It's only four months away, which doesn't give us a lot of time. What 
about an install day as well? I'm interested to help out in anyway that 
I can.
