Anything is better than nothing. But I would probably lean towards a
full 650MB CD.
I don't see what is wrong with giving out standard "stable" cds. The
Knoppix ones are nice too, althoug i386-only, at least, last I
checked.
Jaldhar, should I call up greenbush and other CD vendors looking for a
CD donation? If so, shouldn't I get a smattering PPC CDs also (for
the Mac users) and possibly some SPARC and IA64 ones?

Hmm! I guess I should try it out before the show then!

That's a nice idea. Anything to tempt the new user, that's the idea.
Ok -- can you put together a roster, of what we want, of those, which
have someone assigned to them? Then I could look at the unassigned
stuff and see what I can handle.
I think we should play up that we're the quiet dominating force.
After all, isn't RedHat going away, and isn't Fedora just RH's attempt
to be more like us?
2004 could be a really big year for us...
