Transition Software - Live Linux Distro

[John Myshrall]

In addition to refurbishing PC's and giving them away to people. The 
last few months of my hobby has now moved into making up CD's for 
Windows users and giving them away.  This all started with Spreading 
Firefox.

My goal is to expose people (Windows users) to great Open Source 
software which is also available for Linux. I'm over 50 on my 
distribution so far. 

On this Windows disk I put Limewire and Azureus. I have also put some 
free software from various software makers on it ie Adaware, AVG, 
Sygate.  There are so many naked boxes connected to the net without any 
protection. 

I have given some of them Live Linux CD's and just about everyone is 
blown away. They also feel quite comfortable with it because of the 
transition software like : Firefox, Thunderbird, Open Office, Gaim. 

What I would like to do is put together a disk with as much of this 
software as possible. The software would have to be available for both 
Linux and Windows. 

Phase 2 would be to do the same with a Live Linux "Transition" Distro. 

I would appreciate any suggestions on software to add to this list and 
if anybody can provide any gotchas / info on building such a distro. I 
know there is a book out about Knoppix hacks by Oreilly however I'm not 
sure if this is the book I need.

I have also looked at  A Temporary Internet Lounge Revisited:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8081  by Colin McGregor. Which was 
very helpful.

Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
