Planktum Live CD is not a unique or original idea,

it inherits from the long line of Live CD's production that aims to make the computer an easier device to be used by not-computer-versed people. Planktum is like a research project that looks for those software instruments which could help develop (via appropriation) the potential of the different communities of immigrants in Europe, in the U.S, or elsewhere.

Planktum is a social project for exiled and nomads living on a different continent, who wish to communicate with their families using the Internet connection to avoid paying extra money for telephone bills.

Planktum Live CD is basically a trimmed Live CD; it's not and will not be a technical show-off. It is based on SLAX. We imagine a graphical interface that receives him/her in an environment with at most 4 basic icons on the desktop leading to communication applications, which include:

￭ Skype
￭ WebBrowser
￭ Email Client
￭ Instant Messaging

Here are some screenshots we have made for Planktum Live CD:
