I would like to see AZOTO do something like this perhaps?  Maybe the right
idea is to make a Knoppix CD and a GNUwin CD.  And basically make a little
marketing 'intro' space.  Then we can make AZOTO and PLUG marketing blurbs
that are easily changeable.  Then depending on whom is giving out the CD's
you would give the appropriate marketing one.  Sigh too much cold and
sinus medicine.  I realize the above is poorly worded.  I hope it is not
mis construed.

GNUe to my knowledge is on GNUwinII, but like most things on it, its
dated.  It would be good to start with GNUwin II I think and just
volunteer to help that project (if its feasible).

I agree here.

See note above. ;)
