[Typo3-dev] TYPO3 on a Knoppix CD?

[Thorsten Kahler]

Hi list, hi Kasper,

this indeed sounds great to me! And I think there's someone going to go 
to København before July, 1st who could help you with this :-))

What about adding the install packages, documentation, videos(?), some 
wide-spread extensions and the recommended (free) additional sw to the CD?
The drawback is, that it would be easier for any newbies to get Typo3 
running. So it's harder for us to teach them why they need additional 
services from some pro's.
But they would also be faced  to the complexity of the system which 
would lead the more understanding amongst them back to us - the rest 
perhaps will heavily encumber the mailing lists :-}.

It could be a way to tie some less technically oriented people to our 
community. Do we need them? Just take a look at the latest activities of 
the documentation project! I think it's worth taking the "risk" (if 
there is some at all), at least to spread the word.

Regards,
Thorsten
