Hi I mentioned 'cheap' in my subject line because this is the way I have found it advertised on sites and infact discovered a site which provided for the same. unfortunately this site has stopped distributing cheap cd's. I would not mind paying a reasonable amount for a linux CD. My first mainstream distro Slack 8.0 which I used way back in 2002 was ordered from GT systems the 4 cd pack it cost me around Rs.2800/-. In the current scenario one can download the files (on a fast connection) and burn the CD and make them available at an affordable cost. This will enhance the spread of linux in India. Even many a times in this list someone asks for some distro cds there are hardly any replies. Anyone with relevant links please post it here. Thanks Ninad

its encouraging and nice to hear that you are willing to pay and in past have paid a good sum for the linux distro.

Seascope (http://www.seascope.co.in) has been providing CDs at a very reasonable rate for a long time. Anyone cheaper than that may not be able to sustain in the long run to provide your CDs the next time you want to buy them.
