I read the website, it's an app to help push a large volume of Linux  
boxen, and can also be used to build a reload CD.

I think at the low volume we are at, plus given the variety of Linux boxes  
we install, this might not help much.  But I'll keep it in mind for when I  
start hyping Installfest to corporate Phoenix, or for some other reason we  
start installing more than ten boxes per installfest (last week we had one  
:P ).

It's possible it might help the ASU Installfest folks, though, with their  
bigger installfests.

Actually, I just thought of a potential minus to using Instalinux.  One of  
the goals of Installfest is to get people to learn Linux, and getting them  
to learn to install it themselves is part of that.  So seeing us go  
through the motions of burning a CD, using rescueCD to repartition,  then  
going through the install screens of the particular distro is part of that  
learning process.  This shortcuts that process by a lot, and then the user  
is stuck only being able to install through our special version of  
Instalinux.
