As far as the distributions go, I plan on bringing the following.
Except where noted, these include all binary discs (both CD and DVD
formats, where available) and all machine architectures.

- Fedora Core 5
- CentOS 4.4
- SuSE 10.1
- Debian 3.1r3 - As many architectures and discs as I can download
- Slackware 10.2 - Discs 1 and 2
- Knoppix 5.0.1
- Damn Small Linux 3.0.1
- The Open CD 3.1
- Trixbox 1.2 (supersedes [EMAIL PROTECTED])
- Debian Ham (floppy distro) (stagnant)
- Harv's Hamshack Hack .06a (stagnant)

 I'm including the two stagnant distros because they target radio
specifically.  If anyone knows of any fresh, radio-specific distros,
please say so!

 We haven't had any requests for sources discs, as far as I know.
I've never bothered with them before.

 Gentoo I'm skipping because Gentoo seems to assume a fast net
connection (so you can download and build packages from the latest
sources).  They don't update their binary package set very often.  At
least, that's how I read the website.  Gentoo users, please correct me
if I'm wrong.

 Mandriva is missing from the list because I cannot find a BitTorrent
distribution on their site, and the feeling I get is that they
discourage downloading in favor of buying discs.  I'm happy to oblige
them by not downloading.  If anyone can point me to an official
BitTorrent tracker for Mandriva, I'll add them to the list.

 Anything else anyone want to suggest?
