What I'm quiite prepared to do is post the entire library of distributions to someone that is attending the meeting so that they can take them along.
At present, I have the following ISOs on my machine:
1) Red Hat 7.2 (2 CDs) 2) Mandrake Linux 8.1 (3 CDs) 3) Slackware 8.0 (3 CDs) 4) Debian 2.2r4 (3 CDs) 5) FreeBSD 4.4 (4 CDs) 6) Smoothwall 0.99 (1 CD)
In addition, I'm also inspecting to have OpenBSD 3.0 with me within the next couple of days.
I'm more than willing to post that little lot to someone within the next couple of days for distribution/copying during the meetings. If anybody wants copies of these CDs that can't attend or just wants a copy, then I'll happily copy and post them at £2.00 per CD + £1.50 postage and packing.

I was meaning a software library thats available at ALUG meets... Yes ISO's are avalable for download all over the place, but when was the last time somone tried downloading a 600MB+ ISO with a 56k modem!!!....
The idea (and reason) is I downloaded the RedHat 7.2 ISO's down an ISDN line and it took 3 days (including 2 disconnects that I didn't pick up on)...
So really it's for the people who don't have a blistering internet connection but do want to get hold of newer distro's without having to sell their children to pay for them....
I can provide something like this but can't give dates and times as to when I'd be getting them, as the "company's" fibre connection is down in London and I never know when I'll be in to collect the images of the servers....
