Good morning! Did I mention that I really, *really* detest top-posting? :-)

Basically because that's the only one anybody's bothered to brand with a SLUG logo and distribute. The last time the committee spoke about it, we were all for packaging other distributions in a similar way. Anybody setting out to do so will get at least as much support from SLUG as Bruce did (which admittedly wasn't a great deal - but that's because he was so damn good at doing it on his own). So yeah. Now we've done it once, it should be much easier to do it again. If you want to see $favourite_distro in the shops as well, talk to Bruce, and mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are one or two fairly minor reasons why I personally would choose Debian for something like this, but that's drifting off-topic, and dangerously close to yet another distro flamewar. > =>Thats like saying, by burning your own cd-set you've saved $5 > =>off slug membership. Not at all. Putting these CDs in bookshops is a great way to get Linux out to people who might not see it otherwise. The membership discount lets them know about SLUG, and what we can offer. It also, incidentally, hopefully gets us more members. :-) Is anybody reading this after buying the CD? -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
