Debian have released version 1.3, and for the first time the
distribution is "official" rather than just a CD snapshot of an FTP
mirror.  I'm intending to download the full two CD set.  I've been
considering the possibility of on-selling the CDs in Australia (or at
least Sydney), but the IF and HOW of the matter would depend on how
much interest there was, generally.

If anyone is potentially interested in buying a Debian 1.3 CD set,
email me with your expression of interest.  Such email does not oblige
you to buy, or me to sell!  This is purely to see what economies of
scale exist.

By the way, if someone else is already doing the Debian distribution
thing, then they're welcome to it: I don't think there's much point in
competing over the distribution of free software.

PS: (Preemptive Strike) I'm *not* thinking of using UTS bandwidth to
download Debian.
