This sounds like a pretty sane advice, even I would confess wasting a CD 
like that, for some reason i ordered both 32 and 64bit versions, the 64bit 
CD is still lying around gathering dust.

I guess the college fest organiser should think about getting a few LCDs on 
rent for the day and run videos of Ubuntu Desktop Cube, beryl and compiz 
fusion. If possible keep a demo computer with Ubuntu installed on it, so 
people could get the feel of how it works. Next to that should be an image 
burning stall where one could get an image burned for free on a blank CD.

Plus there should be a linux quiz where they can give away branded Ubuntu 
CD's (if they can get 10 or 15 maybe) as a prize

By the way, where is this fest happening? I'm a pretty much linux noob 
myself (still learning), would love to attend it if its in Delhi..
