Re: Pre-Order Official Gutsy CDs Now
Yes, I noticed that as well, however you can still do a special order and get more than 2 if you are organising an event (or something similar). It might be good if someone orders a bunch on behalf of the CLUG to give away at the meetings. Aaron

Re: Image files of Linux and Unix on St. Albans Neighbourhood Resource Centre computers.
Canterbury University has repo of various Linux distros available on the uni network. If you are interested in what they have e-mail me and I'll get a list of what's there.

In conjuction with the St. Albans Neighbourhood Resource Centre - That's the place where we meet each month - we have created a goodly, but by no means complete, collection of Linux and Unix disks. The Centre is open for business between 11:00am and 3:00pm every weekday and 1:00pm till 3:00 pm. on Saturdays. Go here for the list of Distros:- http://berty.dyndns.org/NN_Images.txt and here for a Street map:- http://tinyurl.com/ytbmb4 This is neither a download mirror, nor a Linux by post service - You have to turn up in person with loose change in your pocket to buy a CD/DVD. Alternatively a USB device with a Windows compatible file-system and sufficient free space is also possible. As this is all new to the Centre, I suggest a slow start. They won't be able to service dozens of CLUGgers turning up at lunchtime on Monday. It might be best to wait until Tuesday when Wesley is working there. Donations of other distributions to add to the collection would be welcome. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell

Re: Ubuntu Studio - anyone like a copy?
You could install it from a USB key, so if you have a spare 1GB pen drive handy (about $25 from ascent.co.nz), you can install it from there. Assuming your computer/laptop can boot from these devices that is. Just google 'feisty usb key install'. Cheers Aaron
Re: OT: Telstra usage meter
You have now used 3,706 additional block[s] of usage, on your TelstraClear HighSpeed Internet plan for the period to 16/05/2007. Additional usage blocks are charged at $2.95 per block of 2,048 megabytes, regardless of the number of megabytes you use from that block. Thats $10,932.70.. heart almost stopped when I saw this. Cheers
