If I could order a dozen copies for a reasonable prices (I imagine
they'd have to be shipped together) I'd be doing right away -- and
give them to people with a casual interest in trying Linux. There's
something nice about a professionally "printed" CD / sleeve.

We're working on distributing more demo DVDs, but free mail order as
Ubuntu does it is very cost prohibitive. What I'd like to offer very
soon is an inexpensive way to order the DVD or live CDs. More on that
shortly, I hope.
