So far I've burned full binary sets of Debian 3.0r0, Redhat 8.0, 
Mandrake 9.0, and Slackware 8.1.  I don't really bother with 
source CDs, since these aren't generally used in the distro 
setup (except with gentoo/sorcerer, of course, but that's a 
whole different kettle of fish).  I can provide other 
distros/versions/CDs upon request, as long as no one wants me to 
do something illegal ;).

Although I can burn at 12x, I generally burn distro CDs at 4x for 
compatibility with older CD-ROM drives (one of which is in my 
soon-to-be NIS/Kerberos/DNS slave).
