To add to this, the live cd can be installed in the hard drive.
So, if a windows developer grabs the C# debian development disk and
checks that it's programs really work in debian, he will gradually
change.
We can make these cd's easilly available ( thanks to the live project
people ) because they can be built with a list of packages. One we have
some development meta-packages, we can make these cd's with tasksel's
desktop task + devel metapackages.
So i can go to my "industrial informatics" teacher a show him that he
can develop visual basic applications in linux.
