Actually, the first version was based on Morphix, and was done by Sajith 
and Vimal. That rather old CD was distributed by LiFY last month along 
with the magazine. We should thank Fred for that. The latest one is 
based on Ubuntu, and was done by Arun and Vimal. The first one contained 
almost everything we could find that was related to education (well, we 
later found more!), while the new one has only selected packages related 
to education. Tuxpaint is a hit among the students who used the CD.
