Dear *,

Already, for several month I have noticed an increase of ubuntu in private
utilisation and also as a linux discovery tool in professional word.

That is just a fact.
 I would only make remark you that ubuntu community is doing a great job.
Congratulation to them.

And I belveive that is mostly due to their LiveCD.
It is easy to install, easy to give, easy to explain how to use it.

So, all that to say that I am convinced that we need LiveCD.
Fortunatly, we have got kadishi ! :).

However, I was wondering if as Ambassador I can give Fedora Home made LiveCD
with specific county configuration to people, organizations and companies ?

Thanks in advance for you replies.

Best Regards
Fred

Hi People,

I seem to support what Fredric has just said about the Ubuntu community. I 
have noticed the way they appeal to users with their brand. I also agree that 
its because of the LiveCD give-away. Through our marketing efforts, i have 
noticed that users feel safer with live CDs as they do not have to worry 
about the arduous tasks related to installation of linux. I feel a Fedora 
Live CD can make the brand more usable as some people fear the installation 
process not to wipe out their existing data with the use of a full install 
DVD. This is not to say that the DVD is not useful. 

I wont mind Fredric if u can make a Live Fedora CD so that we can distribute 
and use in marketing.

Thanks

Hello !

The most appealing thing i guess about ubuntu apart from their distro
is that their media packaging and delivery is quite appealing. So,
maybe if you could have something like that then i guess it will
definately appeal more. I remember i tried ubuntu the first time
because of the 2 reasons
it came to my house without hassle
it had a great packaging which made me try it out !!

So,
Again live cd is no hassle to try out coz your data is almost untouched !

Well, that's what i wanted to say

Thank You,

Fred,

I think it is a great idea and you should definitely create and
distribute such live CDs.

Cheers,

There are Live spins from Fedora Unity http://torrent.fedoraunity.org/torrents

Give it a try.
Concerning mass release fo these livecds, I'm not personally for.
There are still some bugs to fix specially for x86_64. Greg said some
64 bit machines will be bought for testing :)

I don't think it is a good idea either. Giving under development Live CD
could spot our image with unpolished softwares.

That depends on how you set expectations. You can tell them.

"Here. Grab the very latest stuff. It might be a little rough but thats 
a great opportunity to help Fedora improve its upcoming next release.
