no - Charles already covered everything there's to say really

all I'm suggesting is: there need to be no fundamental difference between 
installing, say, OpenOffice, and LinuxCNC, without the need to do magic 
incantations in /etc/apt/sources.list and then some

that is huge exposure (read as 'promotion') as it completely drops the bar to 
giving LinuxCNC a spin. Right now you better be very determined to try it out. 
That hurdle will go away if we manage things right.

it somehow looks LinuxCNC is intimately tied to 'Ubuntu', that's just not the 
case

what it is really tied into is the LiveCD, which is a workaround needed because 
LinuxCNC never made it _into_ a major distro (as opposed to _running on_)
