I'm posting this as a sort of a "test balloon"...!
Our high school science club may distribute Linux on floppies as a means of
raising money for projects. What we're thinking of is that instead of buying
the floppies from us, people might be interested in renting the disks (in
order to make copies of them) at a low rate. Something like this:
You send them $40, and they mail you the base distribution of the most recent
Slackware package. You copy the disks, and mail them back in a prepaid box
of some sort, within say two weeks, and they refund $20. Ie. you get Linux
for $20. Other parts of the dist would also be made available, as might be
other packages if the response is good.
If you'd like to get Linux cheap, and help out a relatively worthy cause,
could you please drop me some email? (I'm the advisor to the science club,
in case that isn't obvious!)
thanks,
