You *might* get them in time if you order now-- unless they give events priority. Mine usually take a month or two to get here, though. On the bright side, I do have about 15 or so Kubuntu discs I haven't given away yet...
Let me know how many we would like ( 300 to 500 ? ) and I can give them a call and get the process sped up a bit, for LRL we got just over 300 Kubuntu CD's in about a week.
Also do we want all i386 or should I poke them for a few PPC , and AMD64 ones also.
Also +1 we are working on getting the first point release pushed out the door in the next few days, so the cd's would be Kubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06.1 LTS ( the first point relasese )

It needs to be Ubuntu; not Kubuntu. But if Canonical wants to send us 300 of each, more power to them.

I don't see where 'not Kubuntu' is justified. A good argument can be made for Kubuntu being just a bit easier for Windows users to get used to. If we get both, we explain to people that they choose one, and can always install the other desktop later from Synaptic.

It doesn't matter all that much and it's not worth fighting over.
Brandon just told me on IRC that we're getting 300 of each.

Why? KDE owns GNOME.

Your opinion was so insightful and well argued that I just changed from GNOME to KDE.
I wasn't aware the obvious needed arguing. ;)
Are there going to be demo machines setup? It'd be cool to show people (relatively) new things like XGL that they may not know about.

How new do the demo machines have to be to do the relatively new stuff? I've seen some $40 PIII-600Mhz machines with 128MB RAM at the Surplus Exchange, and I've been meaning to get a test machine anyway. I could even upgrade the RAM to--gasp!--256MB!
"Look at how fast this old PC runs on Linux...you'd never guess it only had 256MB RAM in it!"
Last year I brought in my very old laptop and did VNC to Monty's laptop. My laptop was running DSL Linux 0.5 off CD. If we had a regular PC and a couple of laptops the booth would look very decent.
Then all we would need is someone to borrow a LCD projector off their company and we'd have the tech booth of tomorrow...

I also meant to ask, would it be better for me to install several distro's on a pair of machines (power concerns) or try to drag in 4+ machines?

P3 Machines you mean "cased PCs"/Laptops? If they are cased systems I would see if anyone has an LCD that can be borrowed for this event. I will hopefully be able to put sometime in at the booth and I will have a laptop that can be used for demo if needed.
Yes, these are full cased machines unfortunatly.

Xen? :)
Something so unstable it can't be demoed?
I would definitely want a PPC copy for myself, and if there are some left over, I would pass some back to the UG in St. Louis.
