Dear Fred and Lars,

>Let me echo what Lars said. Let's say I used the Live DVD to install our system (which I did). Provided that you:
>   Change the passwords from the default to something more cryptic
>   Update Xubuntu as needed (and the system is not shy about letting me know when new updates are available)
>   Update Koha as needed (I upgraded my Live DVD system from 3.10 to 3.10.5, then to 3.12)
>then is there any real difference between building an Xubuntu system and installing Koha from packages? 

in fact your installation from Live DVD is like installation from source well done.
You have installed languges from scracth, you work on command line, you know linux.

But if someone uses Live DVD without previous Linux knowledge, a live DVD installation mix Linux and Koha installations.
And koha free support is not enogh if you have s.o. problem and you don't distinguish between them.
If you don't have Linux knowledge the best path is:
-- test with Live DVD
-- find a Linux guru to install a Debian/Ubutun on a PC/server
-- install Koha with your Linux guru and tell them that 'Koha could be installed with debian packeges'.

Bye
