I think it might be more appropriate for linux distribution to be done
by a user group rather than a for profit company.

The only user group I belonged to was a Mac group back when Macs were new.
and part of its function was distribution of PD software on floppies.

If we could get a Linux user group going in a community with sufficient
resources they could handle making a set of master floppies and
arranging for bulk copying.

I have not heard of any Linux groups but I would be glad to help organize
one.
