Re: cheap distros

[Jake Morrison <jacob.morrison@example.com>]

I have also been using cheapbytes lately, and I am quite happy.

I just pre-ordered the latest Mandrake distro. Two disks for
$3.99, plus $11 for shipping (US Air mail) to Taiwan. It usually 
takes less than a week for the disks to arrive.
