That is by the way good point. Distributing the LoCo server CDs has
been problematic for us as well. Some can be given away in certain
business events, but mostly people wanting to deploy Ubuntu in a
server environment are perfectly able and willing to download it
themselves.

It mostly works as a kind of "business card" for non-sysadmins making
possible IT decisions, but other than that we've not had much success
distributing pressed server edition CDs. The 250/75/75
(Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Server) would better suite us as eg. 300/75/25.
Kubuntu could be higher as well, although in general the distribution
is done at events where it's easier not to confuse the newbie with
multiple editions/brands on the first contact.

Any other experiences?
