Distribute points uniformly on a sphere

Hi,

I need a way to distribute a number of points (e.g. 300) on the surface of a sphere, in such a way that the nearest-neighbour distances are roughly equal. This is a practical rather than a theoretical problem, so an approximate result will be quite acceptable.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Gib
