I'm going to formally request that we DO NOT distribute [EMAIL PROTECTED] CD's at the shows, they're too much of a timebomb -- people regularly ignore obvious warnings, and are not accustomed to CD's that will reprogram their computer by simply pressing return.
I recently had an IT exec insert an Ubuntu installer CD, and wipe out his entire machine because he thought it was the live CD, and just kept pressing enter whenever a question came up -- don't underestimate what the end user of your CD's may do!
