should all be user friendly enough. Unless someone tells me not to burn any.
Well if you're going to burn different ones anyway, just make sure they are Live CD's. The SuSE installer is 4 discs, for instance.
Well, I'll burn whatever anyone thinks is a good idea. Since I haven't heard from anyone one what will be at the booth, I figured we should have something. Not much reason in having a booth if we don't have any distros to hand out. I know we'll wind up with something. But it's better to have some idea before hand and it's better that we don't have to have whoever is manning the booth to have to burn CDs the whole time. I figured if I burnt a variety at least they could be demo'ed. I could burn some installer DVDs, too. Undoubtedly if I burn more than 1 distro we'll eventually run out of at least one of the distros, but that's the nature of the beast. I think it would probably be easy enough to make some usable installer cds also, but like you said it'd take more than 1 disc per. I think It would be safe to say that most distros will do a decent install with only the discs 1 and 2. But I'd have to verify that. Hence it would be better to give live CDs or DVDs.
I'm downloading Kubuntu now. I prefer the KDE desktop to Gnome, but haven't tried Gnome in a while. Any discussion? Also the Kubuntu uses a single install CD. I have both the install and the live versions. I'll try them out, here and play with some of the others. Do we know who is going to be manning the booth and when? Is there a sign up sheet or something? Normally I don't miond the chaos that is KCLUG, but it's a bit self-defeating at times like this. Oh well.
