Absolutely. The key is to have something stable, whatever that is. I
personally liked how Ubuntu 5.10 picked up all of my hardware automagically
on this laptop. Typically, laptop hardware is less likely to be supported
than desktop, so that's a good sign. I figure the 6 months after 6.04 comes
out will be plenty of time to decide if it's the right choice.

I don't think that's early enough for planning, especially when we are
talking about doing some kind of formal presentation. The planning needs to
be done well ahead of then, and those last two meetings should suffice for
assembling the materials for the show.

Rather than autorun.exe, it can be an HTML document. It's trivial to put
that in the autorun.inf file. There's a lot of flexibility there.
