:D 10 x86, 5 PowerPC and 5 AMD64 CD's :D Dunno why I ordered so many, but hey, it's free :D
Thanks for the link bro/sis :)
 
Time to force linux down the throat of the tech people at school :p.

20 x86 (That should last me long enough, otherwise ill have to make some myself)
5 PowerPC (I have 4 friends who have an iBook. Plus me, so it is fair)
5 AMD64 (For when i get AMD 64 :p)
 
Nice, ordered one of each. (Unlike some, I don't take advantage of others :p)
 
i ordered 10 of them for some reason. Is Debian any good?
 
Ha just ordered 20 x86'ers, and 5 AMD64'ers.

Sharing some with the good buds of mine.

Heeter
 
tittle,,,,,,,,,Debian is pretty good.....even though its open source the free CDs rock! w00t!!!! BTW....my frined ordered 50 copies of each and did get all that he requested so the deal is good :)
 
I've been hearing lots about Ubuntu. I'm glad I can get free CDs this way.

Thanks for the link!

30 CDs coming my way.
 
he he he...gonna try it. Maybe send it to one of my friends? muhaaaaaa

anyway...when r they suppose to be here? like how long does it take?
 
i just had them send my gf 500 cds :p. She dont care so its all good

edit: make that 505
 
10,5,5 for me I live in england any idea were there base? Gotta love free stuff!
 
PPC Distributions, superb! That'll be placed onto my desktop soon then :D

Will actually get round to installing this one at some point (Unlike the SuSe CD's :p)
 
10,5,5 ok now what does this do? lol is it linux?
 
Yup, debian flavour. One of the more easier linux' to use... and handily comes in a build for PPC architecture. *does a little dance*
 
is it one thats just bootable? u dont have to install it, just like knopics std? btw i forgot u can have linux on macs. thats cool, hopefully ill be trying it on the g5's
 
They mention something about live cd's in their FaQ.

I think what we've ordered will be the install CD's though.

[edit] You can grab the ISO's from here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/warty/ (http and torrents) if you want to give it a try before your CD's arrive. Seems the live build is x86 only.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
