kurup, i'm guessing r7 can send you a CD.

When requesting a CD, also let folks know if you want the source code as well (e.g. if you are a developer) and if you want CD or DVD.

Thanks,

i need those two DVDs of BLAG. (new 60000 blag)
I want to spread the word of blag. I liked the distribution so much. Alas, my download is kinda limited, so downloading the whole 2 DVDs could be too much for me (in optimal situation I could get it in less then a month, but probably very corrupted). Is someone able and willing to send me those?

I want to give it to all those friends of mine who have even more limited internet. Already gave them 50003 cd version, but soon i have found that it is not enough for them.

I can send you disc with something or a postcard in return :)
(or just pm you with a thank you note, just tell me what would you like)

cheers lads

Matias,

I deleted your post since it probably had a bit too much personal info for a public forum. To order a CD for free, just fill out the form here:

iam nbee and not 2 good wcomputers, willbe installing blg and wanna know if there are any classes or training besides the cd or dvd? believe or not i wanna train others like me with easy steps. any suggestions are appreciated in advance. i read ubuntu will have one seminar in the usa? but it's so expensive i can only dream on getting the training. i plan to pass on what i learn to others who are in my same situation soon.

Classes? Hrm. Londoners are lucky in that they can come to Blag meets. You are lucky in that you (big assumption here) have a decent internet connection. You can ask for help here on the forums or irc and read the wikis https://wiki.blagblagblag.org/Main_Page.

I've found that the best way to learn this Linux stuff (and it works for me) is to:-

0 - Look for a Linux User Group, (LUG) in your area or start one!
1-Work out what your problem is
2- Make notes on it, (e.g. "this is my hardware I don't know how to install" or "how do I play music"?)
3- Work out which are the best or simplest options
4- Try them out
5- Note the one(s) that works for you
6- Share the info.

You don't really need classes per se, just reassurance or guidance that you are doing the "right thing". Steps 1-6 can be soooo easily achieved in one night of a LUG ;)

-*- whisper mode -*- Do you know how much I learnt from Jebba and the other chaps just by watching over their shoulders? ;)
