Probably why live-cds are appealling. I am not J.Q.P. I write device
drivers and R/T applications. I've always relied on S/A to provide
GPOS computing services and applications so I can do my specialized
work.
Now I'm on my own and I have to be SA and specialist. I simply can't
learn all the SA tasks and techniques at once. Ease of installation of
a GPOS is valuable to more than J.Q.P.
I think live-cds demonstrate the easy-to-install GPOS are feasible.
I sure hope the arguments of live-cd != Debian are not motivated by
a sour-grapes attitude that Debian-pure is not as easy to install as
a Debian-based live-cd.
What interests me at this point is if and when there will be a live-cd
== Debian (stable, testing, unstable)
