There is an outfit that sells periodically updated CDs with the complete
contents of the SIMTEL and GARBO ftp archives. These include complete X and
GNU sources.

I don't know wether or not FSF distributes these CDs or if they have their
own CDs.

See the periodic postings in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.archives for more
