I think it's specifically an issue for what distro the group as a whole
wants to pursue copies of to give out. As the source of the distros, and
possibly the source of newfound email to that person's email box, the
group should be willing and able to deal with questions for that distro.
Maybe the group doesn't want to stand behind any of them, but would rather
individuals helping with installs make recommendations to other
individuals for what distro to use. In fact, that may make more sense.
I would recommend that someone coordinate who is talking to whom to try to
get CDs. You don't need 10 people emailing redhat, for example.
