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.
I agree totally with Brion on both points.
A bootable linux+Wikipedia that just comes up as a 'kiosk', i.e. it's an instant "appliance" that could be placed in a library or school with extremely limited financial/hardware/skill resources would be excellent.
But also, having the data easily accessible from existing OS as well is extremely important.
It'd be neat to do both on 1 CD, but if they are too far different from each other, it'd be fine to have these be different "products".
