same. I'm thinking of only offering ubuntu, with other distros available
on request (eg: CentOS).

Novell may donate some SuSe boxsets again. If so, we'll also offer
those.

It will make it much easier for post-fest support too, if we only have 1
or 2 distros on offer.

I'm also thinking that it might not be worth offering knoppix, since
ubuntu is now a live CD.

That we can concentrate our funds on making only ubuntu CD's. Plus we
might be able to get some freebies from ubuntu.org.

Ubuntu is even easier to install these days. You won't have a
problem. :-)
