[NTLUG:Discuss] Locally available Linux CD-Rs

Seeing as I have a broadband connection and a CD burner, I 
thought it might be nice to burn some copies of Linux distros 
for use at the meetings--specifically, at the Linux installfests 
that start two hours before the meetings.  I thought I'd bounce 
some ideas off the list to see what can be arranged.

Primarily these CDs would be "on loan"--I would bring them in 
with me, and they'd normally go home with me after the meeting 
was over.  I could conceivably burn copies for people to take 
home for themselves, but in that case I'd have to charge a small 
fee to cover media costs.  CD-R media is cheap, but I'm also 
unemployed and close to broke. ;)

I'm able to get my hands on the most recent version of just about 
any distro with minimal trouble.  One notable exception is SuSE.
