Hello

I'm studying economics and I had to conceive a marketing plan. I made a virtual product called Formalin : it's a LiveCD based on Ubuntu giving a modified Ubuntu environment to learn the usage of GNOME and other common applications.
I wanted just the opinion of the famous ubuntuists. Is it feasible or not ? Would it be useful ? You can have some screenshots here : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/winant/formalin/formalin.html and if you want to help me you could complete this poll (in french but easy to understand) : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/winant/formalin/formulaire.html .

Thanks

Pablo

P.S ; I used the ubuntu logo but as I will never do this program, there's no way to have a process, is there ?

That could be handy for new Linuxers. Kinda like that Professor cd series for Windows, only more interactive. I like the idea.

But I have no clue what the poll says ;)

Google translation (http://google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fperso.wanadoo.fr%2Fwinant %2Fformalin%2Fformulaire.html&langpair=fr%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF8)
It's a little rough (probably text book literal - "Which data-processing platform do you generally use?"), but at least you can answer the questions...

This translation is correct, indeed.
Thank you for answering.

I simply used Inkscape but I guess it is a bad tool for LiveCDs ;-)
It's just a dream and some screenshots.
I know almost nothing of programming : I don't ever know if it's possible to tweak xorg so that it can be nested in a smaller part of the screen like the screenshots show and if it's possible to modify so as to make a kind of interactive learning.
