Are boxed copies of various distros avaliable for sale there?  If not, it might be a good idea to see if Nexus would be interested in setting up a mini booth there with books and stuff.  Of course someone should make sure that this is okay with VFXWeb first.

What machine spec were you using? On my machine 400Mhz it does get slow and
hesitant but still works. i was going to dd iso copies to the Hard drive

I don't think a machine like this would work properly.  When I'm running
cdrecord on my server, it grabs all available resources, and brings the
server to it's knees.  I can't even connect to a Samba share, or open a web
page from that server while the record process is running....  (of course,
this could simply be a result of the way I'm doing things - I haven't
looked into this issue yet, other than noting it is an issue).

So, I don't think you'd be able to burn to multiple cd drives
simultaneously....

On the other hand, Once you do the mkisofs step, you can then omit that
part of it, and just run the cdrecord process multiple times, using the
generated ISO file.

I would like it if we can get several copies of the various distros to give
with the installed machines. i am going to buy a stack of discs to do some
concentrated burning and printing of SuSE. Does anybody want to take some
and
do Mandrake,  RedHat etc?
Wednesdays presentation on CL cd burning gave me an idea, if Paul can put
together a machine with 3 burners we can set up a burning station to mass
produce the copies?
