 i guess you all allready know about the Comdex in "Ganei Ata'arucha" In Tel-Aviv at 
the 27/09/00 . there will be the "Linux Day"  - our day .
 this is something for sure : 
 there gonna be a HUGE pinguin over there that will just give any one who wants a 
FREE REDHAT 6.2 CD . there are thousends of cd's - and thats totally free to get  
- All you have to do is be there
 THEN : BE THERE! and get your cd's . 

So, now they're spamming about Linux too... I don't know who this guy is (he
didn't say who he represents! That's odd), or if he's actually telling the
truth (knowing Israelis, even if he has 10,000 pinguins they'll be gone in
10 minutes - even avid Microsoft supporters will take one if it's free),
but this message was sent to every Israeli linux-related mailing list in
existant - including even ivrix-discuss and ivrix-announce (I blocked it -
this message has *nothing* to do with Hebrew!).

BTW, about this being the old Redhat CD - at least the new one is only a
week old... On the last Comdex, one company has the audacity to give out
Redhat 6.0 when 6.1 was long available (the same company sold 6.1 at the
spot for 250 shekels, if I remember correctly). I know, they don't have to
give out anything free, and "don't check a gift-horse's mouth" and everything,
but still I think it's not very useful to get an old distribution (as Eli
put it, "Yesterday's Newspaper") :)

new what? isn't 7.0 still in beta? and even if it is not - past experience
shows it is not a terribly good idea to use *.0 versions of redhat linux
(althought 6.0 wasn't as bad -for a new installa - as 5.0 or 4.0 were, it
still got my system trashed during an upgrade from 4.2).

this is especially true when you supply the CD to people, rather then
install them yourself (i.e. during an installation party, or supplying
them only for people already with linux administration experience).
