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.
