The list is on my home computer, but I can only do email from my office
computer or HUMBUG meetings.  I'll see if I can remember to bring the list
tomorrow.  From the top of my head the distros are SuSE, Red Hat, Debian,
Debian Jr., United Linux, Slackware, a great variety of mini Linux distros,
all three versions of BSD, Knopix, and Lycoris.  All will be the latest
versions plus Debian stable.  I will also endeavor to mirror the updates,
with the notable exception of Red Hat who are making it more impossible
each day.

It should be possible to do network installs / updates / upgrades from my
server at HUMBUG meetings.  No ISO's will be stored on my server though,
but I believe they are kept on Hydra.

Since the whole point is to reduce UQ bandwidth consumption during HUMBUG
meetings, yes I want CD, DVD, or ISO copies of the latest version of the
distros.  They will be dumped into the HD and the CD's and DVD's returned.

Actually, there is a secondary intention to run an install fest at a future
HUMBUG, but the main reasons are to reduce bandwidth, and use it at home
for my own nefarious purposes.
