We should have both Fedora Core 1.0 and Mandrake 9.2 CD sets available at the November meeting. You can also get CD sets from places like cheapbytes.com. I believe one of the reasons that the name was changed to Fedora is to allow places like this to use the "Fedora" name without infringing on the Red Hat trademark. These sites are MUCH cheaper than the official boxed sets anyway ($5 to $10 versus about $50). --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
