I think an Open CD and a Mepis CD would do it.  In numbers of 50 each,
for those who actually run it on a notebook or laptop, there, and copy
it to their drive, the remainder get the address for the free download.

If they show genuine interest, not just the feeding frenzy of free swag
to grab, they would get a CD.

Who knows, there may be some vendors of services who want to run one
system on their table on Linux?!
