I doubt that SCO is affecting the popularity of Linux, because
you said that with BSD you really had no idea what was going
on, you just knew they were being sued, but with Linux
people know what's going on more, because
1.) Info is more easily available on the Net now, and
2.) Everybody knows it's frivilous, even SCO
Does that mean they will be showing their privates in public?
Are there any females on this public-private team? If so,
then I am there for the 'unveiling'!
"We have a utility computing equivalent of 100 computers. So you can run different kinds of applications on top of it." What?
You can run different kinds of applications!?!? Holy bat-computer
Batman!
And is it just me or did the dude in the second pic look scared to death?
The only benefit I see in this is maybe an easier install, for new users, but for those who already have a distro they're happy with, it certainly isn't a reason to switch.
I don't know much about Live CD's as I've never had to use them, but as far as Desktop Environ's, I would suggest Gnome, only b/c it's spiffier. I think people would prefer something at least a little cool looking, over something flat and boring.
But, if you have a bit of a mischevious side, send them a distro without a graphical install and Fluxbox as the only WM. That'll be the gift that keeps on giving (headaches, that is);)

Are you sure FSF is an organism? Maybe it's an orgasm? Then again, maybe it's an organization?
Don't forget, he does it whilst holding a lightsaber. I hope that reference wasn't too obscure... oh well!

What do they do about mashed potatoes then?
Mayhaps it is best to be left alone... Many a flame-wars have been started over this issue. Suffice it to say, however, Fluxbox 0wns them both.
