Linux Distros on CD/DVD

    There are many US sites offering linux distros on CDs and DVDs. There are even a few uk ones as well but would u be interesting in an Irish one? Im thinking about setting one up. It would include all the major linux distros and many of the smaller niche offerings as well. It would also be cheaper than the foreign sites as delivery within Ireland is below 3 euro vs. say 4.50pounds sterling on one of the uk sites.
    Any one interested? :)

    This would only really be useful for people without access to broadband and the number of potential linux users in Ireland still on dial up who don't have a mate with broadband is pretty small.
