I'd be glad to have your opinion about the two following related issues: 1) According to the documentation [1]: "There are no official Debian live CDs available. However, we would like to recommend Knoppix, which is based on Debian - a very useful, full-featured live CD!"
Now, I love Knoppix and I think it's the best derivative, but I also think it's not pure Debian, nor is Debian-Knoppix (see point 2). Nevertheless, if either Knoppix or whichever other project is recommended, wouldnt it be nice to offer it as an official download, branded as Defiant Live image? I think that having an official live image would improve the project's visibility and acceptance. 2) As a user, I struggle to keep up with the more or less official projects aimed at building a Debian-compliant live cd, such as: - Linux Live [2], - Debian Live Initiative [3] - Debian-knoppix [4] - Debian from Scratch [5] - mklivecd [6] - knoppify [7] and possibly others. Never mind if I was a developer. All of them are in their own singularity valid projects, but they tend to go their own way and eventually some stall. Wouldn't the project benefit from getting the developers involved in the above mentioned projects to talk to each other and eventually produce a Debian live image?
