[64studio-devel] 64 Studio Live

This sounds very cool! A person asked at Lug Radio Live if we had 
something like this.

I've a feeling that might be the only amd64 live multimedia distro 
currently available - I can't think of another one.

Yes, I agree we should target CD-R with the live version, for those 
people who do not have a DVD burner. It could eventually be an 
alternative installer for older PCs too.

While we are a performance-orientated distro, there are so many older 
machines which couldn't run Vista but are perfectly capable of tasks 
like vector graphic creation and MIDI sequencing.

I'd like to hear from people on the list about which packages we should 
keep and which we should drop for the live version.

Cheers!

Daniel
