[AuckLUG] Sourcing linux distros

[Ghodmode]

I'll pay for the download and give you a copy.  Just bring me blank discs :)

I use Kubuntu, so that's the one I'm going to download regardless.

Because I don't like Novell's deal with Microsoft, I won't download or
provide copies of SuSE.  Consider it a mini-protest.  I'm not any kind of
expert on licensing law, so I'm not equipped to debate the intricacies of
the deal.  I just don't like it.

Anyone who wants a copy can email me and tell me their favorite distro.
I'll arrange for a place and time to meet you.  I live in CBD and I don't
have a car.  So, you will probably have to come to me.  If I have several
requests, I'll probably try to meet you all at one time.

If I get a lot of requests, then maybe I'll sit in the quad with my laptop
and burn discs with K3B all day :)
