The Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X beta release on CDROM has been
shipping since Thursday. The complete announcement is on
comp.os.linux.announce.
I have responded to the person who posted this message, but
I wonder if there are a lot of other sites out there that don't get
comp.os.linux.announce and want a copy of the complete announcement.
If you fall into this category, then send me mail. If I only get
a small number of messages, I'll just send copies of the announcement
back to the people reply. If I get a substantial number of requests,
then I'll repost to comp.os.linux (also let me know if you would have
problems with the announcement being posted to comp.os.linux if
there were a lot requests).
