FWIW, the 5.04 CDs have this too, IIRC. I don't recall if the
LiveCDs have a Ubuntu to HDD feature, or if that was planned for Dapper
(6.04) but they are also supposed to have an "OEM mode" feature where
the OS can be installed but not setup with user info until later by an
end user.<br>

I've been running 5.10 Preview on my main machine for a while and with
all the updates it should be the same as 5.10 final and I think it's a
pretty solid distro so far. I'm fairly certain I could sit my
wife down and she could use it right away (she's used to Win XP and OS
X)<br>

<br>important feature on their Live CD that I think we should consider: the<br>"Live CD" not only includes the standard "live" Linux environment but<br>also a pretty Windows autorun "welcome screen" with *installers* for
<br>OpenOffice, Mozilla Firefox and GAIM for Windows!<br><br>IMHO, this is wonderful! We can hand out a _single_ CD that promotes<br>using open source software on either Windows or Linux at the same time!<br><br>Download it and try it out! It's so pretty too.
