You're going to sit at home, and burn a complete spindle of disks all to one distro. And what if people want something other than the one image you burned. If you try to guess how many of what you'll need, there's no way you'll get it right. Maybe burn a couple of each of the top 5 distros' stable releases as a buffer, and bring a couple "Freedom Toaster"s:

I don't see why you'd have to actually build a stand like on the site. Just run the software on a laptop with a burner. CD burners are FAST these days, and the few seconds someone would have to wait for a disc could be spent telling them what is actually *on* the disk, and why they shouldn't just throw it away when they get home and find out it's not a freeware or sample version of some expensive, proprietary windows program. It'd make the burning process itself a cool Linux thing to show off.

And on another note, I'm getting ready to burn a spindle of Linux CDs for ITEC. Should I wait until October and then burn one of the newer alpha images, or get started now on the "stable" Ubuntu 8.04 LTS image?

From: Justin Dugger [email protected] Subject: Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 5 now available To: "KCLUG" [email protected] Date: Friday, September 5, 2008, 4:12 PM I know a few people on the list were considering running the development version of Ubuntu to see if driver bugs were fixed. Now is a great time to grab the newly released alpha 5 and test, for both people who's hardware might be fixed and for people worried it might regress during development. Read more and get download it via:
