samuele's working on "9 release" version of this poster, but for our next
event (Saturday) we need a poster for last official fedora "stable release" (but
we'll have also a live usb pen creator for 9 beta...)

Maybe we can make space for different "usb" cables, each one with a different
spin (gnome, kde, devel, etc...)

Right now this could be a bit expensive because you need a pc for each spin (Matteo's
script doesn't support multi port yet), but it's not impossible ;-)

Thanks for feedback.

Certainly -- this makes perfect sense.

Or you could have input from a small USB number keypad with a legend
for the user.  Or this would be a great use for an EeePC-based kiosk!
