So whenever you want to look up something in an article, you just stick in the CD, reboot the computer, write down the information you want on a bit of paper, and reboot the computer again to get back to your preferred OS?
FWIW I think a bootable linux+Wikipedia would be *awesome*. But, the data needs to be accessible from an existing OS as well (and not all of us are running an x86 machine!) or we get the above scenario of extremely limited usefulness.
