While I really prefer the idea of a live DVD over a normal install
DVD, just filling it with extra software seems like a bit of a waste.
What would be awesome (but understandably difficult) would have a grub
menu showing KDE / GNOME / XFCE at boot, and use that as the live DE.
It'd be a painless way try different DEs and pretty damn cool.
