Install it at your workplace, tell people, support new users - every time
one of my colleagues wants a "Linux box" I build them a Debian disk. If
you _really_ want to get Debian out into the world:
The floppy install takes eight 3.5" floppies: include a lowmem disk and a
disk of instructions. That makes 10: if every developer were to buy a
box of disks, format them and copy the floppy images then send them to
someone - thats 300+ people with a minimal distribution at a couple of US$
cost.
Beg/borrow a CD copier: copy up to date CD's at a nominal cost: distribute
them. [Can we do this for one developer from each country to ease the
problem of net download costs ??]
Stress the security and upgradeability of Debian: install RedHat and
ask people to upgrade - then show them Debian with APT
Just my 0.02 Euro
