Which CD to burn enmasse for ITEC? (was Re: Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 5 now available)

[Billy Crook]

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.
