Does your place has enough homes with PC's? If then, a customised DVD version of Linux Mint or Ubuntu will work for them. But, if you are planning for a distro shop, it will not work! GNU/Linux or FOSS geeks will get the distro CD's they need any cost. If your home land has geeks, it will be ok. But, I think, it's no the case. So, at this point, at first you have to do is to promote FOSS and GNU/Linux.

But, it is better to first collect their requirements(playing videos, video editing, word processing etc..) and cook up a customised distro as I said above. For downloading packages for off-line use, you can use, Keryx( http://keryxproject.org/). There is also a Python script named "Sushi, huh?"(http://sushi-huh.sourceforge.net/).
