Have you been selling any disks lately? I saw a recent offer for new
releases, did you get any email responses? I'm just trying to guage
how little the demand is.
Average one to two distro's per InstallFest. Sometimes none, sometimes a few.
No email response yet wanting new Knoppix discs.
No noticeable requests at KPLUG meetings recently.
Partly related subject: it seems that Fedora Core 5 no longer has the
easy GUI process to install more software from the CD set after the
original OS installation.
I will bring some copies of the new Knoppix to the Thursday-night
meeting anyhow. I have also a bunch of now-obsolete distribution CDs,
made on spec, that I would just as soon give away rather than trash
them directly.
