Hi Olga, no. The only thing that helped me was moving eastwards to Ukraine. And in a few years I probably need to go to Siberia!! > For your question about 'shipping disks for free' and a note to Derek/Valerie: > Our family get the latest Suse DVD (Tshirts and other gimmicks > included) by express mail each time a new one is released.

But it should be contribution-based. Not until now, that they must ship hundreds of thousands (or whatever the number was, probably lower) CD's around. Sun always did that, also with their other programs. Shipping to Europe must have been $5 each time. This is a lot of money-burning, as they did it with every unknown small maybe_but_probably_not customer. They also sent me 5 T-shirts (Java or Solaris 10, not even OpenSolaris). Not based on any contributions.
