As for the Debian CDs prior to 2001: I provided, in october 1998, Debian CDs, with the 'hamm' distribution (as well as installation instructions) to a Spanish magazine (Linux Actual, edited by Prensa Tecnica) as seen here: http://www.debian.org/News/1998/19981016 (picture incuded) There was also a magazine (Linux Actual #1) edited in january 1998 with Debian CDs for 'bo'. www.prensatecnica.net works, but http://www.prensatecnica.net/cgi-bin/Web_store/web_store.cgi doesn't so I can't confirm confirm the exact date. However, a note at the Sobre's group (http://gsyc.escet.urjc.es/sobre/novatica-seccion/node5.html, in spanish) confirms the date. FYI Javi
