Dear Sir,

I am Ashish Bista from Central Department of Computer Science and
Information Technology, Tribhuvan University, Nepal. I am currently
student of M.Sc. first semester. Although we are using debian here, we
are searching all the debian CD/DVD including deb packages and source
code. We will be thankful to you if you provide us all the CD/DVD of
debian including source disks. So, please send us all the disk at
following address,

Ashish Bista

As you can see at our website, the Debian project does not make
physical CD/DVDs. Instead we rely on CD/DVD vendors to distribute
CD/DVDs for us:

http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/

Unfortunately there don't appear to be any Debian CD/DVD vendors in
your country. You might want to try the vendors who distribute
internationally, or the vendors in neighbouring countries like India
or Pakistan.

If you would like to setup a Debian CD/DVD distribution point in your
country, please read this page:

http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/info

PS: if you are interested in localising Debian for your language, you
might like to read this page and the links therein:

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/i18n/ch03.html

The process for translating the Debian website to your language is written here:

Thank you for your interest in Debian. This mailing list is for
discussion of the development of the operating system; for general
user-centric questions you should use the ‘debian-user’ mailing list.

 I am currently student of M.Sc. first semester. Although we are using
 debian here, we are searching all the debian CD/DVD including deb
 packages and source code. We will be thankful to you if you provide us
 all the CD/DVD of debian including source disks.

The Debian project delegates the distribution of physical media to
various worldwide vendors. (You are also free to obtain copies over the
internet, if that is more convenient for you.)

For information about vendors of Debian installation discs, see
URL:http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/. For general information about
getting Debian installation media, see URL:http://www.debian.org/CD/.

 Best Regards,
 Ashish Bista

Good fortune to you in getting Debian!

Debian (at least the installer) is already well localized in Nepali,
thanks to the efforts of the Nepalinux project
(http://www.nepalinux.org). The same project works on localization of
the major components of a distribution (GNOME, KDE, OO.o, Firefox, etc.).

They created a dedicated distribution, meant to be distributed on one
CD, and based on Debian and the Morphix installer (same technology use
for DzongkhaLinux 1.0 in Bhutan).

You may indeed want to get in touch with Nepalinux folks...

There is indeed a FOSS store here in Kathmandu, Nepal, which is called
Digitrust Enterprises in Putalisadak. If you would like to get Debian
CD/DVD, you can contact Prabin Gautam (to whom I've also CC'ed this
mail).

We are, in fact, using Lenny for our servers and have long been users
of Debian GNU/Linux.

Cheers,
Subir

Prabin, would it be possible for you to add yourself to the CD/DVD
vendors table on the website? More information about that is here:

http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/info

And the form for submitting new vendors is here:
