Yeah. Some people like it, but then again most people who know how to make
the active choice of Debian over the more popular Ubuntu probably already
have the ISOs and everything. You can strike Debian from the list.

Hmm. Hadn't thought of that. I'm sure that it's far too late to consider
modifying the burnbox software to copy images to a USB key. We could have a
USB CD-ROM drive nearby in case anyone wants to install a distro on their
netbook whilst at the con. (I will try to remember to bring my USB adapter
and a spare drive.)
