Here is a list of listed Indian vendors who no longer ship the latest version of Debian:
1) LINUXjunkies Foundation ( http://linuxjunkies.org/cds.php ) Their website lists Debian 3 and no later version. They have also provided a notice in the page that they are out of stock and that they can not process any more requests. 2) RoseIndia.net Their website also lists only Debian 3. There are no instructions as to how to obtain a CD even if they do ship latest Debian CDs. 3) san system (https://sites.google.com/site/linux4ugroup/price-list) The website lists Debian 5 and no later version. 2011/10/13 Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <[email protected]> > On Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 09:26:31AM +0530, Rohit R wrote: > > Hello, > > > > First of all let me say, Good work with the new site !! > > > > Here is my problem.
