Live CDs are developed to introduce Linux or to fill a very specific need (for example, Multimedia Live CDs which you can use to view videos on any PC). Arabbix is thus aimed to introduce Linux to the Arabic people and to show them that there's an excellent alternative to Windows. Of course I agree that on the long run people will tend to use more complete distros. And I agree too that many of the Live CDs out there are developed just for fun ;) > Personally I agree with you that Enlightenment isn't > the best choice [...] Well, it depends on the purpose of that distro (which is not clear yet)...
