[ubuntu-uk] Cheep

2010-09-21 Thread Sean Miller
Did we ever get to a conclusion as to whether Cheeplinux are now in
Marie Celeste Website mode, or has simply changed their company name
or something?

Would be interested to know as I have recommended people go there in
the past, though not lately.

I have heard nothing and they still have my 30 pounds. Because 
there is no specific delivery time I have to await 30 days  to verify 
that delivery  has not happened. They only say on the site ' most 
orders shipped next day' or the like.

  A few days to go. I paaid by pay pal which has a conflict centre 
and the bank might have a view also, I have already briefly talked 
with them.

I believe the company is dead.

The website though, as from my own experience, is till accepting orders.
In hindsight I should have actually tried the 'contact us' phone line 
before I placed the order.

ah, cheeplinux! that is the same outfit as uklinux.net which is Lance
Davis, who was involved in CentOS and disappeared, nearly bringing down
the CentOS project altogether (google for Lance Davis open letter). He
did resurface eventually for us (we owed *him* money as we stopped
paying for domains and things) he was holding on to the domain records
and we had to go through the dispute resolution process, at the last
moment he responded and we got it sorted out.

Good Luck!
