And considering that I just got a single bootable CD Linux system, which runs both KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice.org and a bunch of other stuff, it would probably not be difficult to modify this with some LDraw tools added. The big problem - as I see it - is that we haven't made a final decision on the license for the LDraw parts library. I could probably talk my friendly local Debian developer into packaging LDGLite for Debian within a few weeks. I can't remember the details about LeoCAD, but we can probably also get that into Debian (and thus easily into the Knoppix bootable CD Linux system). The hard and important part is the LDraw parts library without a clear license.
