A First Gnucash LiveCD

[Andrew Greig]

Hi Mark,
This is really fantastic news.  Perhaps it could be uploaded to a
Sourceforge server, (I know nothing about the process) or perhaps it
could be put up on the GnuCash site.  I think it has tremendous
potential.  I can imagine local builds, based on your work, which may
also have Linux versions of the local Tax software as well.  Imagine the
impact on small business, being able to run such a secure system, and
then submit their taxes without expensive Proprietary options.  This has
made GnuCash so much more available, to the wider community.  Great
Job!! Thank you.
