Great idea, good luck with it! You _might_ find some of this EdLug Install Day info useful, especially the public release forms etc. http://arkaig.netresources.co.uk/~edlug/install/
I guess the only other thing to say is, remember your audience. Is it the general Linux-curious public who want to find out more and get a hand installing? Or is it an inward looking hack-fest? Or both? :-) Just handy to be clear!

(e.g. Sparc...). I am running SuSE 7.3 on an Ultra10 machine. It is very stable, but would like to try some more up to date software on it. Have tried installing Debian a few times, but couldn't make the X work. This might be an option to give it another try and get some help from experienced users. Many thanks.
