Personally I say hand them Linux and tell them Project Gutenberg's URL.  As anyone who has been on the KCLUG list for any length of time can tell you, the wide variety of opinions on KCLUG would make a discussion of which Gutenberg books to put on a LiveCD into something akin to a religious war.

Let the folks who install Linux find their own content.  They'll be happier in the end with their own choices than whatever we'd pick for them anyway.
