I'm creating an updated image for the SSS cd, and I'd like feedback.
What does the group think about including non-final software on the
disc. For example, the version of Audacity on the current disc is
1.1.3. From the Audacity home page (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/),
this appears to be the latest "stable" release. However, they also have
1.2.0pre1 available.
In a situation like this, which would you choose? I tend toward the
newer release -- but I know I will keep track of the software and get
the "final" release when it's ready. I'll also be more forgiving of
minor bugs because I know its beta software. Would our intended
audience understand this? We don't want to give them a sour experience
when they're first trying OSS.
Of course, I may be over-analyzing . . .

By sometime tomorrow (Wednesday) would be good. I think we will want to
update all the packages we currently have and maybe add any others that
people have recommended / will recommend.
