Sounds like a great idea to me! Not sure if I can come down, though :-(
considering that's my anniversary and all. My wife didn't seem to mind
when I mentioned it, so who knows? 

BTW, despite his deference to unnamed company people, John still deserves
a big "pachi-pachi" for getting things out to other Linuxers.

That being said, I have a little bit to contribute, if anyone wants it.
It's a little dated, but not that far. The 6-CD InfoMagic set, which
has RH 4.0, Debian 1.2, Slackware 96, Sunsite files, Metro-X and some
other stuff packed in. Also I have a 3-pack on one CD, including RH 4.1,
Debian 1.2.8 and Slackware 3.1. The single CD doesn't have the contrib
or non-free directories, though, just the main distributions.

I'll give Craig first shot at them, in case he wants to use them for
giveaways at a meeting. Otherwise, whoever wants them gets them. Might
as well clear out a (very little bit of) space and maybe someone could
make use of them.
