I have a pile of Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs left over from
linux.conf.au, as well as some OpenCDs...
If anyone wants them - perhaps send me a self-addressed envelope with
the right amount of postage on it? ($2 should cover it on a C5 envelope)
or an express post envelope if you're keen :)
Just email me off list - donna at cc.com.au for the address.
cheers
Donna
