Tux CDs is the name of a website that appears to sell Linux 
distributions on CD.  www.linuxiso.org is a website run by Lance Barbour 
from Florida, that appears to sell linux cds using Tux CDs as a distributor.

I paid for a Debian distribution 2 months ago and have not received my 
CDs.  To verify, please log onto my account at:

https://www.tuxcds.com/status.php

Order 13357
email: richardcavell@hotmail.com

and you will see that they are still 'processing' my order.  My credit 
card has been debited more than $20 USD.  But no CDs have been sent.

I have emailed them about ten times, with no response.  linuxiso.org 
have also given me no response.  I called Tux CD around midday US time 
on a Wednesday, and got an answering machine.  The answering machine 
appears to be full.

Because I paid by credit card, my money's safe, but I want to warn 
people for the future:

DO NOT BUY FROM TUX CDS.  THEY ARE FRAUDSTERS.
DO NOT BUY FROM LANCE BARBOUR OR LINUXISO.ORG.  THEY ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY.
