I see that edubuntu is going to a two-disk distro, one being the standard Live CD/installer and the other being a collection of education-relevant FOSS. The thinking is that many of those users might otherwise not have easy access to the apps that make the edubuntu distro useful to them, either through not knowing how to find & install the software or due to limited connectivity. I don't know that we want to consider that for the CD's to go to the libraries (where to start???), but there is much to be said for making it easier to find apps to start with. (That, incidentally, is why I prefer synaptic to adept to apt-get, although I use all three. Synaptic's organization makes it easier to look for interesting apps. Yes, I'm a n00b, but that's how I learn...) Once they're hooked and comfortable, then you can sic'em on to Stallman. ;=) - Dave.
