[wellylug] copy of mandrake / suse

[Rahul]

The last I checked (which was like 2 weeks ago) they were out of Fedora, no
Mandrake, Slackware or Knoppix either.

I did happen to see Xandros. I guess, its not easy to get Linux distros in
Wellington (except may be on here!). I ordered a pack from www.linuxcd.org
that I got today, took one week in all and cost 35 USD for 8 distros.

That reminds me, I now have an extra set of Mandrake 10 and Knoppix 3.4, if
anyone wants to put them to use, I am happy to part with them.

Cheers,

Rahul
