Fedora Core "Purpose-built Fedora distributions, called 'spins', are a recent addition to that community in an attempt to reach additional users. The idea is to use tools like Revisor to create a custom collection of software that work well together for a particular set of tasks. This collection can then be installed or run from a live CD, providing an easy means to have the right collection of tools immediately, rather than after a lengthy yum install pass."

I'm looking forward to this one, as it would be very handy for testing computers before buying. Most Livecd's actually are, but this one would let me test the video card's functionality better.

it'd have to be a third party spin, because fedora itself doesn't ship proprietary drivers.
