[ubuntu-za] Edgy CDs for the community

[Craig A. Adams]

Hi All,

Ubuntu do offer the ability for distributors and resellers to purchase
the non-free (as in beer) Ubuntu CD's in bulk.

This can be done through the reseller program managed by Christina
Armstrong (I believe) at Canonical.

See : http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu

Small volumes (100 - 1000 units) are available at 1.50 EUR each
(approximately R15).

At the moment, there is not an official South African distributor
listed.

Kindest Regards

Craig A. Adams
