As an Xubuntu user and a Fedora Ambassador who handles CD distribution on the US West Coast, it's not a stupid idea. It would take volunteers to maintain it, a budget to provide CDs to people by mail, and this speaks to perhaps Xubuntu tapping into the Ubuntu LoCo groups to help with this (if Xubuntu users aren't active in the LoCos already) by having Xubuntu disks available to those folks going to LUG meetings and other GNU/Linux events. [Also, is this where this discussion should take place? The Development Discussion list? ] I'd be open to helping organize this, because Xubuntu is probably the best of the *buntus, as far as I'm concerned.

Is it just a matter of getting volunteers to set up and maintain it? Can we borrow RedHat's code for this? What would really be cool is if somebody like DistroWatch could host a similar thing, but across more distros than just RedHat (or Xubuntu, to be on-topic). I'll keep my thinking cap on... -Eddy -------------------------------------------------------------------- <a href="http://mail2web.com" target="_blank">mail2web.com</a> – Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft® Exchange - <a href="http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail" target="_blank">http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail</a> <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> -- xubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
