[olug] donation of lots of linux cds

[Adam Haeder]

Hello OLUGgers

I recently finished up a whole rash of linux certification classes, and I 
have LOTS of extra cds left over. The come bundled together in boxes, and 
each box contains (all x86 versions):

Caldera OpenLinux EDesktop 2.4  (1 cd)
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (3 cds)
TurboLinux Server 6.5 (1 cd)
RedHat Linux 7.2 (2 cds)
RedHat Linux 7.2 Source (2 cds)
SuSE Linux 7.0 (1 cd)
Slackware 8.0 (1 cd)
Mandrake 8.2 (3 cds)

I currently have 61 of these boxes, for a grand total of 427 separate 
linux distros. I can keep them together, or open them 
up and separate the distributions.

My question to you is - to whom should these go? Of course, if anyone in 
the group needs some cds, you're welcome to have them. However, I think 
that most of us probably either have ourselves or know someone else who 
has access to a fast net connection and a burner. I'm thinking more along 
the lines of people that don't have this easy access to free software. I 
remember a slashdot article a couple of years ago talking about a school 
in Russia that was looking for donations of IT books, because they 
literally had NOTHING. This is more along the lines of what I'd like to 
do.

So does anyone know of any needy organization, anywhere in the world, that 
would make good use of these? I don't want them to just gather dust on 
someone's shelf, I'd like to send them where they will really be put to 
use.

Any ideas welcome! See you at the next meeting.
