For around 26 bucks, this will be the definitive linux release for
my money.  Probably only 4 weeks till we will be able to buy it here.

It will include,

RedHat 3.0.3 (minus the MetroX server, which gave me nothing but slow grief)
Debian 1.1 (tough to beat)
Slackware 96 (the dark horse?)
kernel sources up to 2.1 and MASSES of quality archives.
and more!!!

If it was written commercially, how much do you think these little old CD's
would cost us.  I shudder to think.

I have dealt with a lot of places when getting my Linux stuff, and most have
been good.  But I would recommend pointing your browser to 
http://www.zip.com.au/~lychan and getting it through Leonard Chan.

He got me RedHat CDs across the county in less than half a day at
the same price in Australian dollars as US.  Like I paid $49 Australian
and RedHat sells them for $49 US. That is a massive discount, considering
some places wanted to charge me $90 Australian for the same product.

He hasn't paid me to write it, I just figure good karma deserves good press.
