sometimes, even experienced KDE developers find building from cvs a 
barrier to development.

see this thread from yesterday: 
http://lists.kde.org/?t=105689697300002&r=1&w=2

My sense of the discussion is that there is support for promoting a 
"Knoppix for KDE Contributors, assuming it is given enough "dangerous 
cargo" labels and warnings.  Vibe-check?

If so, maybe we should burn some for RMLL, LinuxTag and the SanFran 
LinuxExpo (and some U.K. event?) and sell them at a 100% markup ($3 
ea?)   Simple rules--get 50 shipped to you, and you must return n + 
$d, such that n + d/3 = 100.  or just burn your own ...

we'll need a dangerous cargo label ...
