Thanks Kurt and wolfgang,

The availability of live CDs is critical to the success of Sugar Labs.  

Sugar has taken a couple of pretty hard blows over the last couple of
months.  When working on outreach, the ability to point to a liveCD is
invaluable.

Disclaimer: As always, I may be completely wrong in my observation and
conclusions.

We are working on making Sugar Labs more engaged in the community.  As a
result, we are focusing on developing and maintaining the Sugar
software.  Distribution is/should be handled by our partners at OLPC,
Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu.

I will do whatever I can to grow the overall market for Sugar desktops,
but I feel most comfortable directing people to skolelinux for LiveCDs.

Thanks
