I get to see the stuff from SuSE and LinuxCare tonight or tomorrow, they
came in elsewhere.
I got a really cool package from Yellow Dog for PPC ( I really want to
keep it, but alas it will be going out to some lucky raffle winner
tomorrow or next Sat ). It's a yellow canvas zipping folder with lots o
pockets and their Champion server dist. Even cooler than the Faximum CD
:). I hope to get it on my roommies mac tonight :). TurboLinux is also
sending us their PPC dist along with some other stuff like Japanese and
Chinese language dists. I arranged TurboLinux and Yellow Dog individually.
I think they'll sign on next time around, though.
We also got some SuSE stuff and a few other things from the Bru Guys (Est
Inc, but they're accross the street from us :).

We're planning on giving them to some of the installees, so they have some
sort of media at home. We'll have some handouts as well. Some basics about
how to get in touch with our LUGs and some important web sites.

SuSE is cool, even without the free stuff :). (even if they seem to have
lost my subscription...).
Also, don't forget to have debian available. They really don't have
freebees to send out (other than the dists... :), but they're still
worthwhile. Our slackwareophile will be present tomorrow to preach his
particular way of life as well.
