Thats excellent, now there are a few things we need to plan: What is the promotional budget? How will Joe Cool Public know about it? Who will man it when Joe Cool walks off the street and wants a copy of a distro? Who will fund the purchase of a stock of (good quality) blank CD's & DVD's? Who will pay for the inevitable coasters and the worn out CD writer? Is there a DVD writer (inevitably more and more distros are on DVD). Who is paying for the bandwidth? What happens when the 40G runs out (thats about 8 DVD's, dunno how many distros) -- Nick Rout
