I'll burn a few x86 64 bit cds (Ubuntu & Debian) for the install day,
and a handfull or so of The OpenCD (open source software for windows).

PC-BSD if I can find one, I've checked openbsd but their iso is a 3 meg
boot floppy for network installation, so probably no use.

If anyone has a DVD burner and some reasonable gaming hardware (that
they can take to the install day) then the live-linux games DVD might be
interesting for a demo - http://live.linux-gamers.net/

any other special requests?
