Hi
We can safely conclude that a mag. can not support linux good enough. Along
persuing their current style of distributing CDs, it would be real nice if they
advertise LUGs enough.
Somebody buys a mag CD, tries linux and may give up. But if he/she starts
his/her linux experience with LUG, there are better chances of continuation with
linux. LUG will also benefit as they can charge small token sum like 50/- for
professional and 25/- for student. That way a person can look forward to LUG to
keep his/her machine updated without spending too much of fone bill for
internet...
