[Ilugc] Need RedHat 8.0 CDs

Noticed this in the recent subject-lines of ILUGC. One optimum way of
sharing distros could be to set up a CD Repository. We, in Goa, make it a
point to buy one copy of the latest distros (say from linuxplaza.org or
from lincds.com) and then pass it around to as many people who want to
copy it. This way, the distro gets 'life' of its own, and there are enough
copies floating around our small state for anyone to get access to when
required. Of course, it calls for a small initial investment, of around Rs
35 to 50 per CD. Not a big price to promote GNU/Linux perhaps! The idea is
catching on, and we're trying to promote it among Little League LUGs (the
smaller groups) in places like Mangalore, Pondicherry and Belgaum. FN
Along these lines...I have Redhat 8.0/7.3, Mandrake 9.0, Knoppix,
FreeBSD 4.7. Anyone around Madras who wants a copy, send me a mail, come
with good CD-R and collect them burned when you want to.
Also, anyone has OpenBSD and Debian 3.0 I can borrow for copying?
Thanks,
H.
