Have we standardized on a particular distro or are we looking at showcasing multiple distros? I wouldn't want us to show to much preference for one over others. As a suggestion, could we have a library available and if anyone wanted a set of disks burnt we could offer them to them? It would kind of go like this: Person walks up...we chat with them....we offer them an official Ubuntu disk...they say...hmm I was looking for something a little more enterpise friendly or not debian based... Well sir/madam...we have a library here some other distros that we can burn for you...example CentOS...RHEL with the red hat references removed....you can through that on your server and it is like using RHEL...wow....tahst awsome mr linux booth guy....when can i pick itup....well... give us about an hour and we can make the disks for you. I think you get the idea....we could ask for a "suggested"donation of aloonie a disk...and they wanted to it shipped out.. maybe a couple bucks for postage..... Or...another suggestion...have we looked at asking Novell, or Red Hat or one of the other major distros for disks to give out? _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
