Well Arabbix is a live Linux CD. What does that mean? you can play with 
all the nice stuff with linux without installing it on your hard drive. 
Simply place the Arabbix CD in your CD/DVD player on your computer and 
reboot the machine.. the machine should boot of the CD and you will have 
a funky complete Linux OS with all the bells and whistles.

Yousef, the design has to use one color only since printing full colour 
on the CDs is very expensive and we are gonna be practically giving them 
away. The design has to have Arabbix 1.0 written on it in English and 
Arabic. I alos want to have www.arabeyes.org on the CD. I know this does 
not leave much space to work with but it is the best i have.

if we can use some mosaic or arabesque.. that would be cool... just keep 
it modern , simple and attractive which I am sure Bandar will be able to do.

Of course contributors will be names in the credits of Arabbix1.0
