Actually, I wouldn't like to do it this way.... we would need to handle 
money, have enough cash, store the CDs somewhere etc. And I think the main 
reason, why people ask us for CDs is, because they believe, KDE is a company. 
Usually they understand quite well, why we cannot do this.

Still people want CDs and I'd prefer to cooperate with some of the magazines. 
Linux User, etc. quite often have CDs with also KDE packages. People get 
these for a very good price (ca. 4 Euro). 

What we also could do is, to have  machine with a CD burner and a image 
prepared in forhand. So if anyone comes with a CD-R, we can burn the image 
for him.

Greetings,
eva
