I agree :-) It's a good idea to make some Lubuntu install CDs to distribute for a reasonable price. By the way, is it too expensive to send CDs world-wide?
It might also be a good idea to offer 'One Button Installer USB pendrives' filled with some suitable Lubuntu and maybe other Ubuntu based tarballs, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB. A 16GB pendrive has space enough for all tarballs of the OBI (today). Future tarballs may be tweaked for national markets (OEM install with the proper language etc).
