As an extension of that - since the idea is to promote SLUG as much as 
Linux,
would it be feasible/sensible to hand out Linux CD's that have been 
customised
to have things like a SLUG wallpaper on the WM, web browsers(s) that 
have the
SLUG webpage as the homepage, etc.

Just to remind people who gave them the CD and make sure they have no 
difficulty
tracking them down :o)
