I'm busy for the rest of this week and I don't have the facilities to
create that many leaflets/cds anyway. I'd be happy to work on a set of
proper leaflets for future use, but I think this Saturday will be
pushing it unless anyone else can create some?

Yes, that's true. I tend to forget about the other distributions a
bit. How about it's the most popular so most likely to get support
from the gnu/linux community? ;)

Actually, for the book fair at least (I don't know how techy the
people at the computer markets are), I think that that many choices
are too overwhelming for introducing new people. I think that if we
just provide OpenCD, Ubuntu and gNewSense we have three levels of
freedom that can cater for three different levels of
expertise/bravery.
