I personally feel, it is good if we get some banks to supporting the project to install Freedom Toaster in IT Parks & Colleges with a Debit/Credit card payment facility. Free Software is anyway not Free Meal

I agree with your point. +1
Today, at the FSUG Thrissur event, there was very good demand for GNU/Linux CD's - many people came asking for multiple distro's and the volunteers were kept busy burning DVD's. I think people have a genuine problem getting hold of GNU/Linux CD's/DVD's - and efforts like the Freedom toaster may help, if scaled up to the proper extend.

I will talk to have one in our college provided some body takes care of demonstrating the replacement softwares ( could be charged for that ) for what ever the proprietary softwares we have on our campus ( may be asking too much - but i feel until and unless we do not address the need it would take lot of time otherwise .
