I have actually been thinking about this with my computer hardware 
students.  I have a couple who are in to Linux in a big way and want to 
learn more about their favorite distros.  Both are big Debian fans, as 
am I and I was wanting to build a live cd that used Debian, and IceWM or 
  one of the other light-weight window managers.  This sounds interesting!
