I hand out Cygwin CDs all the time at LUG meetings, Web meetings, and at non-profit meetings (churches, school boards, community computer centers) in my local area. On that CD is not just Cygwin, but also the OpenCD project, Apache 2.x, MySQL, CDex, and other OpenSource software for Windows. It's a nice little package for those not familiar with OpenSource or do not have a fast 'net connection.
