The main reason for ordering the CDs would not be for the established
GNU/Linux users in the college. Since we have run out of stamped
Dapper Drake CDs, we need something to replace them in order to
distribute to newcomers. Since there is a recent surge in the number
of Ubuntu users, this is important to capture the imagination of these
new entrants. I am not so much worried about the older users since
they can easily play around with various distributions and figure out
what works best for them.

One of the system administrators I spoke to in Bombay claims to have
successfully put Edgy Eft on one of his servers, while on the other
hand Dr. Nagarjuna is planning to roll back to Dapper Drake from his
Edgy upgrade. I am going to meet one Ubuntu India developer in the
next few days. I am planning to thrash out all these issues with him.
