I have seen so many people who wouldn't download anything more than a 100MB because of money or speed. But from the beginning I did think that giving free CDs was outrageous! What could be the alternatives? Could we make ubuntu CDs together with printed CD covers (we could make a custom Ubuntu india CD cover)? The cost would vary accourding to the resources we could use: a CD is for Rs12 approx, and printing can be done from a shop or with a printer. These CDs could be distributed to local bookstores and shop. We could divide the management of this distrubution according to the area we live in. I think I remember reading that we could definitely sell custom Ubuntu CDs ( I don't think I remember correctly, please confirm). But if we could, we could use it wisely. I vote for non-profit. The difficult part would be making the shops agree. The other project we could undertake is either ( somehow ) getting a shipit like program within India itself. I don't know how will that be made possible. I am still to even get my own bank account. But just suggesting. PS: It was my small time dream that I would earn a lot, and help in advertising Ubuntu. -- Ashutosh Rishi Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish
