Discontent with LiveContent (Linux.com)
Linux.com takes a look at the Creative Commons' LiveContent mini-distribution and finds it lacking. "The CD is a modified version of the Fedora 7 live CD. Bypassing the login screen, it boots directly to a customized GNOME desktop, with a Firefox browser opened to a welcome page -- and that is where the trouble with the presentation begins. Instead of beginning with a concrete explanation of the CD or explaining what Creative Commons and free software are, the welcome page begins by repeating the vague rhetoric of the project wiki. It does not even encourage users to make free use of the material on the CD. If I were someone who had never heard of either Creative Commons or free software, I wouldn't know what to think."
