I can supply a copy of SuSE 8.0 (and 8.1 when it arrives).

We've kind of fallen down in this area of late.  I think it
would be wise for every member of the LIP to have a "collection"
of CD's so that we don't get caught not having a distribution.
I'm not saying we have to have EVERY distribution, but it
would certainly be nice to have a few on hand so folks could
choose (for those that don't bring a distribution with them).

Indeed.. this is something to think about (those with
high speed replicating capabilities may want to contribute
in this area).
