This may help you, but I have some questions too:

I'm u/g from Linux 1.1.59, and need a CD-Rom with XFree3.1.1 on it.
(I don't have a bkup copy, and can't bkup due to a SCSI problem)

- I don't mind ordering from the US, but I much prefer to order by CC


Morse Telecommunication            mjohnsto@Morse.Net   $39.95   (4CDs)
 Slackware Professional Linux 2.3   
 kernel 1.2.8
  - Perfect Backup & Restore       (This I like)
  - AnswerDisc
  - SPL: Slkwre Pro Win-installation interface
  - Linux-based CDROM Browse Utility                    

InfoMagic Linux Developer's Resource 4-CD               $25      (4CDs)
 kernel 1.2.1
  - any later yet? I had their 3CD set

ADRAS Computing            adras@crl.com                $9       (1CD)
 Slackware Linux 2.2.0      
 kernel 1.x.x?             No CC facilities?

Shipping is $10


- Do any of the above installations have any "problems"?
  ie, all have a proper installation routine.

- Are any of the above available in the UK?
  - Morse: I like the Bkup prog; I prefer InfoMagics price

- What's the current kernel number?
  (ie really: - how long until the next edition, 1.3.0 ?)

Apologies: I've been way from the ads, - busy using Linux :^)
The problem is Linux grows on you ...
