Richard,
> The question arises .... where do we buy our Linux CDs from and who > do we give them to ? For Suse, Leanord Chan of cetustech is a distributor or reseller. EverythingLinux has an online order and a retail presence. I am fortunate in living quite close to EverythingLinux. I popped in yesterday to buy two games for my kids over Christmas. In addition, every so often a small pocketbook distribution is made which goes to all newsagents. In addition, there are several SLUG members with cable modems who grab an ISO image, and are quite happy to burn a few extra if they are coming to slug meeting to give away. You may be interested in hardware prices as well. Someone on the list asked about building a cheap Xterminal. Excluding the monitor, I came up with a cheap system of $383 AU. http://www.umart.com.au CUSI-M all in one motherboard (inc video, lan, sound - video is crap, but hey!) $145 CPU + cooler (Celeron 850) $118 128MB DRAM $42 case $53 mouse and kbd $25 The case is a bit large, but for more money you could buy a H300 case from the same place. Quieter and more compact. I'm assuming the BIOS is flashable to put a boot rom on, otherwise you'd need a CD, disk or floppy. The grass is always greener on the other side! Well, perhaps the knives are sharper in Sheffield. Jamie -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
