Yes. What are your intentions. Are you doing so just for publicity. (I dont have a problem in that as long as you actually ship those DVDs.).

I can't get why would you want to do that...

And well Fedora CD/DVD contains media check AFAIK. So, not much chance of tampering. And also one can compare the md5sum, if you doubt about tampering or such.
And as to charging excessive for courier, decide in advance by which courier will he be sending, and find out about the prices from mumbai to your place.

If you do things properly not much chances of anyone getting duped.

Wow Kalpik! If I'd seen this well in advance, I would have asked the DVD/CD myself instead of downloading it. Since I lack a broadband connection now, wait for a PM from my side :D:D

Heh.. Naah, i aint kidding! Ok.. I use writex DVDs, that's about 13 bucks a piece, the courier guy charges 10 bucks within city and 20 bucks outside city.. So if someone genuinely needs those, i send them.. That is ofcourse if i have some spare money left for that month! I think of all the people i've sent CDs/DVDs too, only ankurgupta.me sent me the money, that too he sent it zabardasti.. I didnt ask for the money :) Though a little bit charity is fine, please dont swarm me with requests! Its not the money that bothers me, its the time i have to spend writing, packing, and taking it to the courier guy.. Im a busy person and a lil lazy too :p

C'mon man...I cant keep asking you for free DVDs everytime...
Not every1 has the luxury of downloading at 25-30mbps...
And when we both are in the same city why not share some of the content:D

oh..man.
I had ordered Ubuntu CD from Shipit site. I didn't received here.

Is Fedora better than Ubuntu in terms of softwares? coz i think Ubuntu doesn't give any extra s/w in the cd.

Yeah LUG members should be happy to provide you with a copy. They will either charge you for the cost of media or ask you to provide the CD/DVD.
Or if you want it, you can buy F7 DVD for Rs.250 at CST. hehe.
