AJ, In the future, if you get such a small number why not reach out the a local Ambassador and ask them to send DVD. I would have been happy too, put this gives the ambassador a chance to reach out the the person requesting to help answer any questions they might have and help promote openSUSE, really showing them that "Your are not alone". Plus, maybe the ambassador can set up something with that person, giving them slides, posters, hands out. I still have a lot of Zypper Cheat Sheets and One Page Linux Manual that I was planning to send with them to this school. But again, this is a thought.
