7.10 ? 7.10 ? did you want to use 7.04 for one of these ? I think going with 7.04 for Linux newbies would be a mistake - 7.10 is tested enough (I'm running it for about 3 months now, and I believe it will be very stable when released) and it offers a lot of new user visible changes and improvements in usability (and eye candy). If you position Linux as a contender in the desktop computing arena, you have to take into account the competition and while 7.10 is definitely up to par with operating system offerings from other vendors (and I'm not talking about other Linux vendors), 7.04 is not - unless you only compare it to 5 years old operating systems, which is a mistake I hope you are not going to make. > Most of our club members are busy people.

Ok, I figured this would be coming my way when I wrote my previous e-mail :-) I have access to a lightscribe writer and while I'm also very busy, I think I can find the time to burn some CDs. If other people can help fund the supplies (and I'm willing to pitch in here as well), I can do the work. I'm not sure what it takes to do a commercial CD burn and how it compares in prices and work involved, but I'll check. -- Oded ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
