Jeremy,
Thank you for your reflections. I'm hoping that we can tap into your
experience in order to help others following in your footsteps.
Firstly, Could you please add your workshops into our History page:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History
Keeping track of how far OSGeo-Live is used, provides the motivation for
projects to continually keep their documentation and applications up to
date on OSGeo-Live.
Please make sure that your blog is linked into your history entry.
Others may find it here.
Second,
I'm thinking that your experience could potentially be distilled into a
tutorial or quickstart or similar for workshop presenters. I'm open to
formats. Maybe put into a wiki page similar to:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Including_OSGeo-Live_at_your_event
Or possibly a quickstart similar to:
http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/virtualization_quickstart.html
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this.

Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your blog post. It is nice to see OSGeoLive being used
for class teaching. I do this myself too :)
Also thank you for the feedback. About the slower booting of version
6.0, I guess it has to do with some startup scripts we added to bypass
an annoying mysql bug we had. We are planning to fix this in 7.0 as
well as disabling the default tomcat from starting up during boot,
which also takes time and memory.
Right now we are close to 6.5 release.
Regards,
Angelos

Dear all,
Sorry to appear from nowhere in this list. Jeff suggested that you
might be
interested in some reflections on using OSGeo Live 6.0 in a class
setting
(and before it, 5.0) that I've written up in a blog post:
http://wp.me/pDme1-1F (this is a Wordpress short URL to the post).
I've not gone into details on the post, and possibly its contents are
outside your interest, but I hope it might be helpful.
And thank you for this system - I use OSGeo Live all the time for the
GIS,
as a VM in research, in teaching, and often simply as a convenient Linux
system!
Any questions, suggestions, etc, please contact me.
Regards,
Jeremy
