I hope you will get at least the possibility to test the things you
want to do in this workshop on these machines.  If not, this is a
recipe for disaster.

Such CDs would not be bad as a backup strategy.  But in order to stay
friends with the local admins there, you will probably have to make
sure that the CDs don't allow access to the hard disks of these PCs.

I saw that and immediately fired up The Gimp to change it but the
result was less than convincing.  One would probably get better
results by preparing the original in a vector-based format (e.g. SVG
with Sodipodi or Inkscape), scale that down and tweak it a bit.
