First advise: follow previously posted advise by some other PLUGger to use PLUG's entity as a non-stock non-profit organization (is it?) to communicate with customs about the Ubuntu distributions and get them out tax free. Second advise: tell Ubuntu to put the Philippines in a "ban list" of sorts and stop sending CDs our way. PLUG can take care of burning GNU/Linux on CDs for interested parties via the secretariat. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free software GNU/Linux Specialist : GnuPG 0x93B746BE : we refer to freedom, not price. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
