Hi everyone,
[A little note: to those who want Linux CDs already and want to get them from
me please wait for the official announcement as I have yet to complete the
ISOs, teach someone who is in the office regularly (I'm only there thrice a
week) to burn these CDs when needed, and stock up on a more reliable brand of
CDs. Thanks a LOT for your patience. :) ]
In line with my mini-project to burn Linux and *BSD (only FreeBSD and NetBSD
and OpenBSD doesn't seem to appreciate people downloading ISOs, burning, and
selling them, unless someone knows where I can find an ISO of this) CD-Rs for
those particularly in the south who want/need copies I was hoping to get a
little feedback from the community about some things that I never thought about
before:
1. Would you feel cheated if you were given the choice to get the CDs either
in "Mr Data" CD-Rs at P100/disc or Imation/Sony/et al for P150/disc? Or would
it be more proper to just sell them using the high-quality CD-Rs
(Imation/Sony/et al) at some standardized price?
2. Aside from the images available for download at LinuxISO.org, what other CDs
are not so exotic and variable and yet important? Of particular interest to me
are these Mandrake Updates / MandrakeFreq files. How often to people need
updates of these? And is there some sort of standardized way of updating a
local repository with these updated files, and then from there generating CDs?
3. Aside from Debian, Slackware, RedHat and Mandrake, what other Linux
distributions would be in-demand? I consciously did not list SuSE because I do
not know if they will be happy that someone's selling burned copies of their
distro when they seem to have more than enough local presence. Someone from or
affiliated with SuSE correct me on this. :)
Thanks a lot for your input, everyone!
--> Jijo
