95693 2002-11-03 20:40:00 Knoppix on the PC World CD has inspired me to take the plunge with Linux. I'm thinking of trying Red Hat Linux 8. However I see the download of the net totals three ISOs - approx 2 gigs! So does anyone know where I can purchase / obtain Red Hat Linux 8.0 from in Wellington?? I just want the CDs. I don't want all the printed manuals. Dunno Anon (2431)

95696 2002-11-03 21:24:00 Red Hat 8.0 looks good. Actually I could burn you a copy. I have the 5 cd set but you only need the first 2 to have a running system. Dolby Digital (160)
95697 2002-11-04 00:35:00 Email me at peldridge@clear.net.nz if you want a copy... Dolby Digital (160)
95698 2002-11-04 00:48:00 Hi Dolby Digital

I have sent email to you now. Thanks.

95699 2002-11-04 03:02:00 Does anybody have mandrake 9? I've got RH8, but I've been told Mandrake's better for Noobies like myself.
I'd be happy to pay for P&P, coz the downloads are just too big. Otherwise, I'd swap for RH.

I live in Auckland though

95700 2002-11-04 03:40:00 Chilling - the November issue of APC magazine will contain the 3 CDs of Mandrake 9... I checked with a bookseller here who said they'd receive the November issue around the 18th of November (if you can wait that long).

95701 2002-11-04 03:46:00 Soundz great, what's APC (Australian PC?)

Should I just check Whitcoulls for it on around the 20th!?

Thanks

Yeah - I think that's it... this month's issue had a full version of Norton Utilities 2002 on it and Lycoris Linux

Yeah I think so - that's what I'm gonna be doing :)
