Andrew,
This is a great suggestion. We'll most likely create this using an
Ubuntu distribution - just because we are more familiar with it and
it'll be too complex supporting multiple Linux flavors at this stage.
It'll definitely be a great way to make demos.
I've created an RFE to track this. However, it may be a while until we
get to implementing this - I think the multi-broker support will
definitely be a higher priority first.
However, if you want to take a stab at creating a Live CD yourself
(and maybe sharing it with us, we'd be happy to host it afterwards)
let me know. This writeup
(
http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/wiki/Marketcetera/BuildingAppliance)
lists the steps we take to create the Ubuntu Appliance, and i'd be
happy to work with you to help you build it yourself if you have the
time.
