May I suggest that all us very grateful users of Centos make 6 copies of
Centos 6.0 (either i386 or/and X64) and hand then out to friends,

interested in trying Centos ?
This is a great and noble idea but you're going to cause unwanted problems for some people. And often times those people would rather pay the 100pounds extra for Windows than have to try and actually become computer fundies.
My mother, father, in-laws, some friends and many of our client could benefit from the cost saving that Linux has to offer. But they won't change over, no matter you convinsing your story about computer liberty is, cause Linux simmply cannot replave Windows. Not for them at least. Linux doesn't work for everyone.
CentOS is great as a server OS, but it won't replace our accountant's Windows 7 desktop - the amount of technical compatibilies issues we're going to sit with is just not worth it.
Don't use a jack hammer to drive in a nail :)
A modification of this idea could be to distribute "Live" versions of
Centos that can run without altering a computer's hard disk(s).
Wasn't, or isn't there a Live distro already?
