It was selling for $65. You can also get CDs with Linux books (e.g. try Collins Booksellers around the corner from here in Swanston St. - they have a student discount if you show your card), these releases tend to be older, but you can get software + book for not much more than the price of that 2CD set. (As for me, I decided just to download them, which is what I'm doing at the moment.) William Webber. -- The snail is my emblem.
