PLUGGERS - I'd like to announce a new service called 'BURNFREE' which was recently launched in Market Market - right above the main entrance.
The store's main focus is FREE burning of DVD Slideshows of pictures, but they also can burn for anyone any of the popular Linux distributions available - and for now, that's the i386 and x86_64 versions of Ubuntu, Xubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, Mandriva, and CentOS. [Yes, even the DVD media itself is free.] They will also soon offer burning of public domain movies, music, and books. [OT] Windows User? They also carry OpenDisc (http://www.theopendisc.com) which is a collection of high quality open source applications for windows [OT] Those in the middle of migrating their users to a Linux desktop should find this 'distribution' really handy. The catch? You need to be a member to avail of this service. But then, even that is also free. This service is supported by sponsors, so it would be good for the community to patronize them as well, or help them get new ones - to keep the free DVD burning service alive. They have 2 at the moment (Cartridge World, and Tokyo Tokyo). This is not a shameless PLUG (pun not intended), this is definitely something that can help the community, and after all, downloading 4GB worth of your favorite distro is still no joke even at today's broadband speeds. If your favorite distro is not part of the list, you can lobby for its inclusion to JC Mercado at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spread the word. It's not everyday one can get a deal like this.
