[CLUE-Admin] InstallFest extra: CD ISO server use potentially

[Skipworthy]

Crawford-

I may not be able to make it to the installfest, but my .02c anyway... 

What about a lighter-weight distro for older boxes or laptops? How 
about a CD with updated libraries and some alternative window managers? 
How about Open Office? alternatice browsers? 

Maybe that's a bit advanced, but if you've got the drives, why not have 
some stuff like that available locally?
