I'm now offering the official Debian 1.3.0 distribution for sale. The distribution is a two-CD set, but if you only want one, just specify which one (probably the binary disc) and I can ship that. Cost breakdown: CD-R media: $7 per disc (cheaper than I originally thought) Copying fee: $6 per disc Postage within Australia: $2 for one or two discs Thus, full two-CD set: $28 incl postage. Any single CD on its own: $15 incl postage. Two discs where *you* mail me the blanks: $14 incl postage. The two CDs in the set are called "source" and "binary-i386". You can get a working installation from just the binary disc if you don't care for sourcecode. Mailing CDs is an interesting concept. I figure that I'd just put packing tape straight over one or two CD jewel cases and mail them directly without further wrapping. It should be enough to protect the discs (the important part), although the jewel cases would almost certainly cop some damage. Wrapping in paper would protect from scratching, but the most likely source of damage is cracking. I figure that it doesn't matter so long as the CDs work. If you don't like this packaging concept (maybe you have a better idea), then email me. I'm happy to mail it any which way you like -- I'm just trying to keep costs down low -- if you want me to put them in a box with scrunched newspaper padding, I'll do that and add the cost. Interested parties can send their order to: Epsilon Technologies PO Box 368 Epping NSW 2121 Include an order stating what you want, and a return address. Include payment in the form of a money order (good) bank cheque (good) or personal cheque (good if it doesn't bounce, but very bad otherwise). If you don't like the concept of payment up-front for goods to a PO box you've never heard of, I can understand that. COD is possible, but it would hike the price up further. It's not like I do this for a living. The CDs should be in the post back to you one or two days after I receive your order -- I can acknowledge receipt of order by email if you like. (There may be another day's delay if I run out of stock of CD-Rs, but I have stock right now.) Happy Linuxing, folks. Regards, The Famous Brett Watson (Standing by for a spamming from the junkmailbots that infest USENET these days -- I hate that.)
