As for buying CDs, I think that patronising local vendors is probably a better
idea. There are ppl doing this commercially -- aamader Sumeet Moghe is there
selling CDs... the benefit abt buying from him is that he pledges to send 50% of
the proceeds to FSF India :-)

Aside from Sumeet, another person I know of selling Linux CDs at low cost is
Gargi Ghoshal of Vodateq.... I've her numbers somewhere, Gargi has sold a lot of
CDs at Tata Tea, CSI,. BECS and several other places. If you are contacting her
please say that you are a member of ILUG-Cal (do give the full form).

And if you think these ppl -- Sumeet/Gargi are expensive, as some might. There
are others on the LUG who will willingly burn you the CD at a cost + a little
extra.. the little extra is supposed to be donated by the burner toward the LUG
funds (as per discussions at the last meeting) -- e.g. Anindya has burnt and
distributed more than 20 sets of CDs since COMPASS by his own reckoning.

cheers,
--indra.

PS. Baba Jay... aamar boyesh niye beshi bhebo na... typically I do have ppl who
are more than 4 - 5 yrs my senior address me as "indra-da" so no harm done... as
for being 27, ei jibon-y aar naa unless u live in the world of HaJaBaRaLa and is
asking me "Satash...?? Barti naa komti?" *grins*
