Thanks. We'll work on a list. Maybe one of the precompiled windows OSS CDs
will work.

I'd rather leave that to the distro. Most disros have wizards for that sort
of thing.

Um, wait, are we on the same page? The compilation CD is for WINDOWS
open-source programs, sush as Mozilla, OOoo, etc. There's no use compiling a
CD of Linux apps; these are already included in most distros.

To clarify:

1). We need a boot-from-the-CD distro that runs in memory (nothing is written
to the hard drive; when they reboot, they're back in Windows-land).

2). We need various regular distros on CD that are newbie-friendly: SuSE,
Fedora (the new redhat), Mandrake, Linux From Scratch, etc.

3). We need a collection of open source apps that run on windows. If we get
them using mozilla and openoffice, they're half the way towards migrating to
Linux. We can compile a CD or use one of the pre-existing ones. See earlier
posts for links.
