That does not contradict what I said. I was only talking about software 
included by default. Do you think that previous of Kubuntu or all 
versions of OpenSUSE "scared" people?

Sure it is for many people. Just visit some popular Linux related 
websites and read the news or comments.

A few mails back you explicitly said several times that you wanted us to 
drop creating a Live image. I guess you changed your opinion. Now that 
we are aware of your opinion that some users might get "scared" ,how 
does a introduction of a Live CD change anything? Those very same people 
might have tried non-live CD versions and had the same effect.
