Good points. I have been sort of anxious to get this out during the start of the school year. I have a short stack of CD's. When and where can I drop them off. I would like to get copies of Redhat, Knopix, Mandrake and Libranet. The leftovers from my stack can go to the group. Libranet has 2.7 in Beta and plans to release it in three weeks. I will purchase of copy of it for the project when it comes out.
We need some leaflets and promo material for the libraries too. I will write some of the vendors and see what they could provide at low, or no cost. Any chance of listing the library project on the brlug.net site?
