Wow that is great stuff!  I love the ability to learn about and install the very best opensource 
software ported to Windows!  I am sending that CD with all my Christmas cards this year.  :) I 
agree, it would also be good to distribute to the public in place of Knoppix (the former king of 
live-cds).

One question: That website says..
"The following is a demonstration of how parts of TheOpenCD might be used to enhance the Ubuntu Live 
CD."

Does this mean it will be included on the Ubuntu Live CD or that it might be?
