tlug: Re TLUG CDRom

I'll run off about 10 - 15 copies of a TLUG Edition 1 CD with a collection
of whatever everyone thinks is appropriate as a test-run to see how well
the CD's are received.  What can sell these at the meeting for Y200 or
Y250 each, which should cover the cost of the CDR's (both good copies and
scrap copies - I think we should assume a 10% scrap/setup loss)  and
should also leave something for TLUG.  I'll look into a labeller as well. 

I can write the CD's while I'm working during the day, so the time
involved in the production is not a big issue.  The biggest challenge will
be in deciding what we should/can fit into 640Mb of disk space. 

I'd personally like to get the TLUG archives onto a CD, so that I have a
complete set and I can take the copies off of my hard disk.  Also,
archives from the Debian and RedHat mailing lists would be good.  Alberto
mentioned RedHat versions, PJE and jrpm.  Having the latest version of
GIMP and XCDRoast might be good.  Suggestions?
