Those and other (more useful) data.  The BIG question.

I have a minute, so I won't explain much: Morphix.  A derivative of 
Knoppix (a derivative of Debian), but unlike Knoppix, Morphix is built 
as *modules* (or so I read).  So it should be easy to change the 
non-core modules for a GRASS-GIS module and make a Morphix-based 
GIS-focused Linux live CD.

Still, most newbies will hit a wall.
