it comes with all the tools you'll need for all the conversions you
can dream of
except svg. and for all the potential systems that are bound to be
encountered in non-net enabled areas.
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.
