Hi there, I have an opportunity to grab the latest version of Debian and write to CD. But I cannot guarantee what platform it will be or who will do it. Can someone tell me where I have obtain the latest unstable (which is pretty stable no?) Debian in ISO format for direct CD writing please. If I make it to ALUG5 I'll bring it along.

Another goodie box has just arrived. This time, I have: TurboLinux Server 4.0 (2CD) TurboLinux Workstation 4.0 (2CD) Slackware Linux 7.0 (2CD) OpenLinux 2.3 Storm Linux 2000 Corel Linux 1.0 RedHat Linux 6.1 (2CD) Mandrake Linux 6.1 Linux Powertools 6.1 Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (4CD) Tucows Linux Software Archive (4CD) MySQL by Paul DuBois from the New Riders range A small Tux case badge, like you normally see on tower cases and another stuffed Tux, this one being kept for use as an ALUG mascot! Once more, I'm prepared to post any of these out to people as long as they get returned before, or brought to, ALUG5 (case badge non-returnable and book not being posted (although it is up for grabs)). First come, first served. Distributions marked 2CD consist of a binary and a source CD, 4CD means 2 binaries, 2 sources. I have no idea what forms the Tucows material is in.

Linux Answers
by jg＠cyberstorm.demon.co.uk 21 Jan '00

21 Jan '00

Hi all, Apparently this is all over the Future newsgroups, but since I just heard about it and can't guarantee you guys have, I'll say that Linux Answers is being "unofficially" renamed to Linux Format and will be in the shops come March. I note that the March bit is on www.linuxanswers.com, the name change isn't mentioned, but www.linuxformat.co.uk redirects to the previous address. Roll on March! -- James Green jg(a)cyberstorm.demon.co.uk Site Manager jg(a)linuxnewbie.com LinuxNewbie.com LNC http://www.cyberstorm.demon.co.uk/ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Want a distribution?
by MJ Ray 19 Jan '00

19 Jan '00

I have in front of me single CDs from LinuxMall.com of TurboLinux 3.6, LinuxPro 5.4, SuSE Linux 6.2, Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and Slackware 7.0. I also have RedHat 6.1 which should return to me before too long and am lead to believe that more CDs may be on their way. If you want one of these, please email me and I'll post them out. Alternatively, if ALUG5 (would 2 or 3 organisers make themselves known to the list please?) is soon, I'll bring them along.
