amount has to be printed, and most of them will end up in the trash or
on a car's rear view mirror ... its like throwing away valuable money to
me..
Rather the Live CD's with installable distro's can be sold to
individuals at 1 -> 10 tk each, or given for free for filling up a form,
that way at least those slightly interested are likely to use it.
To make sponsors more interested, a customized live CD, like Ankur's can
be provided with the sponsor's Logo in the Background.
I am hoping you will arrange a presence for BDLUG free of cost.
cheers !
