I have

• If you want to have one of the above, send mail to me (see the email link at about page).
• Although Linux distros are distributed freely, you have to pay for the CD media and plastic cover.
• If you think it is hassle to contact me, you can get many distros at CD shops like Active Multimedia or National CD.
