Check out http://www.debian.org/distrib/vendors for a list of places to buy Debian on CD-ROM I bought mine at Cheapbytes. I've also bought from LSL. I think I got three discs from Cheapbytes for something around $12 US, including shipping.

Re: Debian on CD
To get CD's for Linux I found a real good place to buy them. It cost me under $2 for Debian. They even let you donate money to Debian Org. It is www.cheapbytes.com.

This is rather unfortunate, as the CD's that I did receive included many non-free packages, and were up to date unlike the official CD's (at the time).

Re: Debian on CD.
The person who was responsible for fulfilling orders was 'deleted' from my organization about 3 weeks ago. Upon reading these comments today, I went to that person's house and demanded the return of any and all documents, records, product, etc. immediately. This resulted in the return of 2 boxes which included CD mailers which were adressed but never sent, unopened mail (I actually found a check dated 03 SEP 97 from an overseas customer), and printouts from email inquiries which were apparently not answered. I will be going through this and trying to see that these orders are all filled right away. If people have questions or concerns, they should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and they will be answered. Tim, your comments are inappropriate. Let me assure you that there is no fraud at all here. The number of website hits that www.debian.org generates is pathetically small. In other words, I am investing in the future by offering this product line. I had tried to unload some of the work in order to have more time for software development but it looks like I will have to get personally involved in the production and fulfillment again.

My CDs came promptly and (that I can tell) without error. If you're a stickler for having hard plastic cases with your CDs, though, you might want to try somewhere else (mine came in little papery holders), or go and buy those elsewhere (hard plastic CD cases are usually pretty cheap; I see them where I see floppies being sold). -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Debian on CD.
My two cents: I've always liked the Infomagic CD set ("Linux
Developer's Resource"). I've bought them quite regularly since they
started doing them. The only problem I ever had was with one that I
bought through a suspicious "reseller" at a local computer show; it
had two disc 2's and no disc 1. I called Infomagic, and they had a
copy of disc 1 out to me within a week.
I just recently switched from Slackware to Debian; I used the August
97 Infomagic CD, and it went without a hitch.

I ordered the monthly disk for 3 months. A couple of months after I go charged I hadn't any CDs. I emailed them. Paul Wade replied that he had send sent out a couple of disks, but he would send a 'free' replacement. I received that CD, but nothing more.

For now, the only thing I can tell you for sure is that you should *NOT* buy the Debian CDs from Greenbush Technologies Corp. (www.greenbush.com).

What are the > pro's and con's have you guys noticed for the different vendors? I bought my 1.2 CD from Cheapbytes and didn't have any problems. Historically, the Infomagic Debian CDs have caused a few problems. We now have a Debian Official CD program where any cd which claims to be an "Official Debian CD" is guarunteed (by the seller) to be a direct bit-for-bit copy of our CD masters, so anything under that label should be fine.
