Yes, please bring SuSE 9.2.  I have SuSE 9.0 on hand, but it is a little 
old now, I guess.  Bring Ubuntu to give away if you like, but I do have 
a copy myself as well.

All I have is the Sarge net-install CD as well, and probably it's an 
older iso than yours.  I don't think a "regular" install cd will help 
you any better with Debian.  I am not a fan of Debian myself due to 
experiences like yours.  If someone comes to the installfest asking for 
Debian, I usually have Mike Simons help them.  The problem is, I'm not 
sure if they have any idea what to do when they go home, then!
