Doug, I've changed my mind slightly and think we
should start donating CDs to local libraries as Dustin
has suggested before we come up with a system for
verifying CDs. We can always re-burn more CDs later if
we want to add a verification tool. Besides, including
whatever verification tool we might come up with would
break the original distro's publisher's MD5 sum. :P

About the only safe thing we could do is to possibly
later include the publisher's official MD5 sum on the
CD label. Bill Leblanc made a good argument for not
including it for now, since newbies won't really know
what to do with it under M$ Windows.
