I downloaded the Mandrake 10 community edition ISOs today, so if anyone's in Norwich and would like a copy let me know and I'll burn some CDs for you.
Um, I think only Mandrake club members can donwload the ISOs at the moment. If you are and have respectively then you probably shouldn't give them away to non-club members.
Everything I'm proposing distributing is under GPL or similar license so there's certainly no legal issue with giving away copies. The download facility is a mandrakeclub membership perk, but the software remains free. This is my understanding anyway.
Having said which, I do think that people should do the decent thing and join mandrakeclub unless they really can't afford it, especially given Mandrake's financial problems in the past.
I'll be at the ALUG meeting at the City Gate on Thursday so people can get their CDs there. Replacement blank CDRs would be appreciated (it's 4 CDs). I've had three people email me so far - any more takers?
