I was actually thinking along the same line.  How about a `live'
installation with Windows binary (including contrib packages)?  I know it's
possible for Windows (running live from CD).  Maybe the same can be done on
the same CD for other OS's (Mac and Linux)?  How about T-shirts and baseball
caps?  

Just my $0.02...
