Yap, but still. You are NOT marketing anything if you just give a disc
away!

We haven't got so many discs (at least i don't) so I could spread them
out like that. I rather try to explain what Fedora is beforehand and
THEN give a media to try it by own!

As I explained. Have a "talk" with the people first, do not just give it
away like it has no value at all! By explaining some of the features and
advantages of Fedora, you are making much much more and the you are
almost guaranteed that the CD handed out is going to be tried instead
than dumped.

Just make Fedora more personal on the event!
