I thought the beauty of Linux was the customizeable kernal. Couldnt game companys use bootable CD's to distribute their products? That way they could distribute custom kernls, X-servers and the like for their games. Maybe they could seek out the swap part on a users hard drive for storage or whatever. Maybe the problem isn't which distro to support but which distro to boot on the CD.
This may sound like a shameless plug but its really not. Gateway has a Linux cube, you could have the BSR bring one out to your group and you guys could tear it apart! I'm sure other big names with Linux offerings would also bring their products out.
The Gateway guy may not be much to listen to but you'll get to play with some cool stuff.
