Experience shows that when we have more than one thing to give out, everyone
wants one of each.  That's not so bad when it'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 "live" disk, I don't think we should be giving them out.
Anything that requires them to jump in with both feet won't be well
received.

That's why I'm hoping that Ubuntu will supply us a couple hundred CDs.
How's that order coming along?

If anyone has a working bootable USB keychain image, we'll be able to make
those for people who bring their own media.  If it'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.
