It mentions Ubuntu and Kubuntu and Live-CDs but doesn't really go into the benefits of Linux (being virus free, no cost etc). So yeah, I think as you mention, a document outlining the advantages of giving Linux a try would be a good idea. It's a shame I haven't got the font that they use as I could have put an extra line on the main menu. Still I have put a DCGLUG logo on the main menu, hopefully the users of the disc will work out it's a link. I think it might be a good idea on the About OpenCD page to put some text in about how it is distributed by the DCGLUG. From there I could link to the about DCGLUG page.
