Here's a list of those I know of, although this is not a
recommendation of any in particular...

I believe Sun's main UK distributor is FrontLine, who are therefore
required to hold reasonable stock levels. (I vaguely recall they're
in Basingstoke, but I could be completely wrong here).

Another supplier is Metrologie in High Wycombe, 01494 526271,
although they used to redirect non-account customers to Rapid
Recall.

There's also SunExpress - they're in Holland but on a UK 0800
number (which I don't have handy). You can probably get to them
through www.sun.com (they are a Sun company).

I believe GEC Marconi Software are also a distributor (although
this might be only to GEC/GPT companies). They are based in
Borehamwood Herts, 0181 953 2030.

The price is usually (but not always) the same where ever you get it.

Sun themselves are also in High Wycombe. They won't sell directly
(unless you want loads of copies), but they would probably tell you
your nearest distributor.

It's really stupid that Sun don't push it more for the home user.
I know a few people who would have bought it if they could pick
it off the shelf (or mail-order) at their local computer shop as
they can for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and (occationally) SCO.
