I thought I might revive this thread to mention that Fedora 8 is<br>scheduled to be released on November 8th, the second day of ITEC.&nbsp;&nbsp;If<br>you&#39;re still looking for software to hand out, Fedora 8 will be<br>freshly &#39;released&#39; that morning at 9AM central time.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you brought a
<br>laptop and a spindle of DVD-Rs, you&#39;d have a chance to start burning<br>as the doors open (assuming they have a big connection there).<br></blockquote></div><br>Experience shows that when we have more than one thing to give out, everyone wants one of each.&nbsp; That&#39;s not so bad when it&#39;s a distro plus an OpenCD or equivalent, but DVDs are a bit more expensive. And unless the Fedora DVD can also work as a &quot;live&quot; disk, I don&#39;t think we should be giving them out.&nbsp; Anything that requires them to jump in with both feet won&#39;t be well received.
<br><br>That&#39;s why I&#39;m hoping that Ubuntu will supply us a couple hundred CDs.&nbsp;&nbsp; How&#39;s that order coming along?<br><br>If anyone has a working bootable USB keychain image, we&#39;ll be able to make those for people who bring their own media.&nbsp; If it&#39;s true that other exhibitors are giving those away, we can grab up some and pre-record them, and trade them out for blanks people bring us.
