Tanner,

   To return this thread to your original post, I think this is a very bad idea.
1) These are die hard Windows fans. You are not going to convert them.
2) The 'free' CDs will end up as trash on the street. A bad mark on Linux.
3) If the MSM (TV, radio, etc) are there (a real possibility), they
will paint the Linux people as Freaks, or worse.

my thoughts,
