Yeah, today (Friday) I saw a 2CD Slackware release 2.3 (was it? - not 
exactly sure) from Walnut Creek at Computers Click Here in Elizabeth 
Street. 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.)
