Greetings!

OK, This question has probably been asked before, but I'm new here.

I'm looking at using LINUX temporarily to allow email (and maybe other
network tools) to connect up two remote offices, while we work on
getting them access to our main network (Banyan Vines). Our biggest
problem is budget & Telstra (no ISDN to these other offices (but we do
have dedicated lines (2400 & 4800 baud)). We have TCP/IP compliant
software which we are currently using, which will talk quite happily
to LINUX.

I need to know two things;

a) Which is the best version of LINUX to handle this (Slackware,
Redhat, etc)?

b) Where can I obtain a CD-ROM to install it? - Somewhere in Western
Australia is preferable (South West even more preferable (I'm in
Manjimup (300-odd km south of Perth)))

Thanks in advance...
Niki Dave!

All of the above is my opinion. If you want CALM's opinion,
