That springs out a question out of curiosity - how many people are
actually using the DVD releases compared to our Live Spins? I mean, I
don't see much pros in the DVD based spin (which isn't even live, so you
cannot check if it will work before installation) and the other spins
are pretty much 'decentralised' desktop-wise sans the fact that for most
of Fedora, Desktop \approx GNOME (which means we have Desktop SIG that
takes care of GNOME stuff and KDE SIG taking care of KDE, similarly
Desktop Live spin being probably equal to what GNOME Live would be and
KDE spin and XFCE spin and LXDE spin and ...).

I haven't tried the live CD recently but the last time I tried installing the KDE live CD, the resulting image had some annoying oddities, I have used the DVDs since then.  I think this is related to the fact that the live CD essentially "ghosts" the CD onto the hard drive (correct me if I'm wrong).
