Demolinux possibilities



I got a copy of Demolinux 1.0 from Bruce this week.  I think it has potiential to bring Linux to the desktop in a hurry!  It allows the user to boot into a KDE gui without an installation to the hard drive.  It is extremely easy and allows access to the floppy disk, many KDE games (14) and applications.  I opened 36 programs before it froze and a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace killed the programs and brought back a login screen.  
 
Demolinux could be used in colleges and high schools to provide access to Linux without the need to dedicate substantial resources.  If Koffice is available on later versions of Demolinux, it could be a valuable resource for students.  Since it is free, students could use it at school and home.  Once students use it in school it will be installed at their homes and later in their offices.
