Hi Rob, For the library project, OCLUG has teamed up with Computers for Communities (C4C). As a first step, we contributed some of the Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs sent to us by Linux Fund. Dave Sampson of C4C has been spearheading the library project and handling the logistics from his end. He was kind enough to print and affix OCLUG and C4C stickers to the CDs, to provide users with resources and help publicize our groups. The OCLUG Board will be discussing how we might arrange to have a regular supply of CDs from Linux Fund (or elsewhere), and furnish a portion of these to C4C and the library on an ongoing basis. There has been some interest, put forward by Jean-François Messier and others, about creating a customized liveCD as you are working on here. If we decide to go this route for the future, perhaps we could work with C4C to create a final product that would meet the needs of both groups, so as to preserve the benefits of partnership. I've tried several burning applications over the years, and consistently found K3B to be the most reliable and easy to use, IMHO.
