Actually, LinuxMall has a deal for LUGs where they'll send you an assortment of
100 various distro CDs for $100.00 (albeit plus shipping).
I don't want to put down your idea, mind you. I just want to make the point
that there are already many avenues to get different distros for very little
money. Cheapbytes.com, for instance, will send you up to 18 CDs for the cost
of shipping
($5.00).
