 I have a 6-CD set from 1996 - InfoMagic's "Linux Developer's Resource".
Includes Red Hat 3.0.3 (running kernel 1.2.13), and Debian 1.1.4 (kernel
2.0), along with kernel sources up to 2.0.12.

 I haven't dealt with purchased Linux since SUSE 8.something, I think.
With braodband, downloads are just cheaper, and faster, and more convenient.
As dialup goes away digital distribution will become the norm. Think things
like Valve's "Steam".

 Sincerely,

 Ray Ingles                                     (313) 227-2317
