Hiyee Dinesh,
I already have kep all the cd's with Kamalesh. Please pick up the complete Mandrake set from him. Lemme know.....since this is a new initiative we have started more for users benefit than a commercial benefit of ours, i have a small question to ask.
Will a person like you pay a deposit of 100/- which is refundable and then take cd's maximum 1 Distribution + 1 Educational / Misc S/W cd ?.
Lemme know...the library has been kick started yesterday. Mandrake 8.2.,9.0 RH 9.0 are available with him too. Debian will arrive today.

Hey 0101010101(Bits...:)),
The smallest would be LRP(Linux Router Project) about 2 MB without X. Since you wanna start out
and
learn i suggest you go in for RH 9.0. A minimum install would talk about 1GB but will give you a
real
good deal on getting to understand what the OS
really
is. X will be part of the minimum install.
If you have the guts...try Debian. Its a hackers Distribution and can fit into < 500MB with X.
Don't
expect the cute-simple-drag-n-drop installers like
Red
Hat.
I have RH 9.0 with me. Please come and take the
same
from Kamlesh ar RenDezvous CyberCafe. We provide
FREE
Access to Open Source and Free Software for a
mimimum
deposit of 100/- which is refundable.
