Hi, PF1/REL imported them last time I checked (by phone). I saw it also once in a shop in JM (an old version, of course).
And, they actually do have an excellend Evaluation CD (nobody else has s.th. like this !): It boots a live filesystem from CD with all bells and whistles installed. Including proper setup and it saves all the data + your home dir on the local disk (vfat partition needed). I think this is a very good solution for the evaluation problem and people who want to suck from this a normal installation can just boot it and copy it over to their hard disk (and do normal RPM installs afterwards).
