i still would love to do that because it:

a) has a huge promotional benefit for demonstration purposes
b) it great to quickly test your network hardware setup
c) you can also have liveDVDs ;)

it will depend on the amount of memory you have in the system after the
autobuilds for the edubuntu CD images are set up (which i'm currently
working towards) i will do some testig with customized ubuntu livecd
