In this case, we need two live CD. I am a kind of "geek" and the second \
live  CD would be for me. But I advocate regularly to business people who \
won't  care about the "geek" but they want to see something stable and \
professional.  I use Knoppix (official release) for that. But if we can \
have a special KDE  Demo CD for Business Partners, I will love to help and \
to distribute... And  it can be different from the KDE Demo CD for geeks.
