I think you should try a knoppix iso and then think about the
example use of knoppix which ends up with a functioning debian system.
For a new user, the delivery of a functioning system could simplify the elaborate dance which leads to the first running openacs system. The particular variations are infinite, but some stabilty targets might exist. The discussion about dotwork could be one of these. A functioning intranet community tool. !!!
Dotlrn applied to the needs of a non-profit organisation. Education is not the sole property of a university. A bootstrap cd with a template which customizes the community server for a non-profit might prove usefull.
Demo does not imply toy.
