I disagree here. I think having OSGeo Live USB's/DVDs available (read:
opt-in) is great, but I think it is incredibly wasteful (money as well as a
product that is not environmentally benign) to put one in every delegate
packet. I have tons of these USB sticks that just clutter up my drawers and
are ones I never tend to use because they are almost always low capacity
and incredibly slow drives.
