Last year we gave away several different distro's and it seemed work very well. Some people knew what they wanted and asked if we had it, others we just gave what sounded to be best for their needs.
Two years ago, we ran out on the first day and I spent the rest of the show sitting at my computer burning new ISO's telling people to come back in 15 minutes for their copy. That was the basis for the decision to not hand out installer CD's last year. This was also the year that everything close down early because no one came to the show... and we still ran out.
And last year the CD's didn't arrive until the first day was almost over [1]. And they were Live CD's, 75% of which were Knoppix -- the other 25% were SuSE 9.1. And we were about 200 CD's short [2]. If by 'several', you mean 'mostly Knoppix' then yea.
