The sensible thing is to ask them. Can you do that or should I? If they won't allow us to do that they might be ok giving us a few disks. Linux distributors have given away bare disks to installfests in the past. I don't want to start a Distro-War, but I'd want to see very good reasons for not sticking with Mandrake before we make a change. We probably have a larger set of people who are familiar with it than any other distro. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell NB. This PC runs Linux. If you find a virus apparently from me, it has forged the e-mail headers on someone else's machine. Please do not notify me when this occurs. Thanks.
