[LUNI] Linux Retailers, Distro

[Jeff Jirsa]

You can get Fedora, Mandriva, Suse, Ubuntu and others in some of the
Linux magazines at Borders or Barnes and Nobles. They also have some
distos with an installation guide in the computer magazine section.

The January Linux Format has Fedora Core 6 and Ubuntu 6.10 and is on the
newsstand now; the February issue will have Suse 10.2.

Well, if you'd like a copy of Fedora Core 6 on DVD, I've got a box of
them in the Red Hat Downtown Chicago office. Just lemme know.
