Tomorrow and Friday are the days for the Knoppix and gutenberg.org demos. I downloaded Gutenberg's August '03 (that's the latest) Best Of CD. It is set up so that you can use it with a web browser quite conveniently. For at least one of the entries on the CD, namely H.G. Well's "The Time Machine", MP3 files of a human reading the book are available from gutenberg.org. So, I set up my daughter's Linux box to play the MP3 file while she read along in the text. Alas, she quickly became bored.
My earlier email had a bit (well, actually a few bytes) of misinformation concerning the most recent Knoppix CD -- it does have OpenOffice. What it lacks is a good text editor, namely emacs. I'm not sure what else went overboard in the latest edition, but I think I was happier overall with version 4.0.2 than with 5.0.1. Maybe the DVD edition is more complete.
