All linux distros can be ordered for free.

Please don't abuse it. If you don't need it or can download it from the net then don't order. And if you can donate, then do so.

Seems safe enough vishal. I don't really see anything that can be wrong. Again these people are looking forward to sustaining themselves through CD sales and sponsors.

please don't think that as its free ,we should take undue advantage of it.

i wonder if they'll ship Slackware 10.2 as well. They havent mentioned it specifically. i dont think they r interested in shipping other distros/lack of demands thqqts led them to put up only a few distros specifically.

Thanks Mehul. Please PM your cell number/address and I will have it collected. Tell me if its CD or DVD. I will replace it with a blank Moser-Baer so that you can continue distributing. I don't expect you to do what Mark Shuttleworth does :p :)

@DrSethi, first check whether you are able to connect to the Net.
Open the Terminal Window and type:
$ ping www.yahoo.com

Press Ctrl + C to terminate
If your Net connection is working then 'ping' will display statistics like - bytes
transferred, IP address, time taken etc.,
If your Net is not working , then it will display 'Unknown Host www.yahoo.com'
Try it first. The site URL is: *free.thelinuxstore.ca/index.php
So open your FireFox browser and type :
*free.thelinuxstore.ca/index.php

Me too!!! But I don't think its fake. The only thing to watch is how much CDs they can actually distribute before going bankrupt!! Lets hope that happens after we get our CDs.

Lets wait and see.

I also ordered a mandriva cd 2006. Still waiting and still the same message that funding is not in place and as soon as funding is place, they will ship it. Then they are saying that whether I can fund the same. I thought that it is a freebie. I now have doubts.

Aug 8, 2006 at 2:39 PM
It seems that everyone just wants to have the distros for free but nobody really wants to contribute towards the cost. So, it's not possible for those people to send CD's/DVD's to everyone for free. They maybe able to do so, if they get enough funding.

Well there's distro request thread for that zeeshan. So, if anyone from lucknow wants it they can ask there. Also, check out your LUG, they should have some provision for it.
