For delaying several roundtoits yes but how much use is it going to be
for the awareness day ?

I've got Knoppix 3.2 (CD) and Debian (DVD) which I was going to bring a long.

I've also been looking at Morphix for some fun - why have a games console
when you can provide operating system +  game(s) on a bootable CD (DVD?) and boot
straight into the game.

Have fun,
Duncan
