The created Linux distributive is oriented on teaching and studying graphics and allows to organize some lessons for schoolchildren at their summer vacation at a summer resort. A list of software packages used for installation is determined either for user computers or for the server station. Each program is chosen due to some features of a system constructed. On the base of list for installer CD and standard lists for Live-CD the Live-CD packages were lined up. The scripts finishing off the Live-CD to its optimal functioning are created. The good studying and teaching results are achieved. The Live-CD and installer-CD are created. They consist of all necessary software, methodical materials and the summer course program. The Live-CD is a present for all participants of summer lessons. The received experience allows recommending the created materials for facultative lessons.
