Yes. I did it in June 2008 and main and universe for x86 was only ~40GB.
Binary only, no source. There are no non-x86 machines. I only did it for
the current release. People can upgrade and install new software there.

here are not going to be able to tell the difference between Ubuntu and
(say) Red Hat.

Yep. I'll use the schools one. I've heard there's a static HTML dump
somewhere. That would be nice due to the large amount of articles in it.

Yep.

I'll grab the screen casts. They take a while to download and will
provide a more approachable documentation format for some people.
