Linux Afficianados: Help Needed with my Ideas? Super DVD's and such...


OK
some members here have seen my thread about whether it is ethical
to sell multidistro cd/dvd/usb's on Ebay or at my site

Well, I think it is an OK thing
Not just because alot of people like OnDisc,etc do it...
but, also because I believe
it fills a demand in a niche market
a market that has virtually no supply

I have searched a little and have not found
what I can make

OK, so what the hell am I talking about?

The Birth of the real Multidistro.com!

A Website where you can not only download
some nice multidistro linux stuff

But, now you will be able to also buy
direct froim me the Greatest Multidistro CD, DVD and USB's
that will be available no where else!!

BUT: I also wanted to make a Subscriber service
wherein you subscribe to the Multidistro.com
Monthly Newsletter and you get a nice
multidistro DVD or CD set each month

Like, say you just signed up today?
You would be getting one of the 2 I just made
Hot out of the Oven!

DVD-1 Includes all these distro's that run as livecd
and are installable to HD/USB

Quote:
Ubuntu-9.04 (Phalanx-9.04)*
Debian-Live-5.0.3 (503box-LXDE)*
Fedora 12 Live
PCLinuxOS "Phoenix"
Slax-6.1.2*
PartedMagic-4.6*
Puppy-4.3.1*
Sidux-2009.03 XFCE
GRML-2009.10 full
KNOPPIX-6.2-EN-CD
NetbootCD-3.1.2
And also includes
SuperGrubDisk
Grub4DOS
Memtest86+
NTPasswd
Dban disk wipe
But, thats not even the Best One!
DVD-2
This baby smokes!

Quote:
Mint 8 Helena Gnome

Fedora 12 Live KDE

Mandriva-2010-LXDE

OpenSUSE-11.2-Gnome

MacPup-Foxy3 Enlightenment

SimplyMepis-8.4.80-a0 KDE

PCLinuxOS KDE

NetbootCD-3.1.2

Plop bootmanager

And also includes
SuperGrubDisk
Grub4DOS
Memtest86+
NTPasswd
Dban disk wipe
Thats right
the 2nd one is booting the newest and baddest distros on the Planet!!

so, is this a good idea or no?

I would say the subscriber service
wherein you would receive say DVD #2
would be maybe 4.99 a month or less fee

Is that decent?

both DVD's exist now and I am finishing the Rescue DVD too
KNOPPIX-6.2-CD
GRML-2009.10 32bit & 64bit!
System RescueCD 1.3.2
Pentoo-2009
BackTrack3-Final
RescuePup-beta
and more to add

So, please give me your thoghts??
Thanks

OH
I will also be selling Grub2 cd/dvdand usbs's too
along with reg isolinux dvd's and syslinux/grub usb's

What I really wanna do though
is make a GUI tool so that when you go to the site
you can choose whatever distros you want on a cd/dvd/or usb
and as long as its compatible and of right size (700mb cd/4.7GB DVD or dula layer)

so, you could clikc a couple buttons and for about $5.00+s&H you could have
your own custom cut of whatever distro's you wanted

Gong even further it would be cool to be able to use xnest
from the site and that way you could start with a base
image like opensuse, ubuntu, etc
and then customize the desktop
and add whatever apps you want
then the dvd/cd,etc would be created and sent to
you or avail as download

any thoughts?

Charging money for something others put out there for free? Hmmmm .... I know you'll say it's the format of them together you're charging for and not the actual Linuxes themselves, but it's not something I'd feel comfortable doing.

Other Flavors?

I noticed you have different base distros....
Will you have a Gentoo flavor?
This live DVD has a nice customized XFCE desktop:

Here is a nice Arch flavor:
