Dear Mr. Gentili, first of all, this is not a mandrake mailing list (nothing against mandrake, its a very ogod distro for beginning ot intermediate users), but a debian one.
Information on Denian (also in italian :) ) can be found at http://www.debian.org/index.it.html As described on the homepage, debian is completely free. For this reason you can either download a set of disks and install what you need over the network, or you can buy a set of CDs (which you may freely copy) form one of the vendors. The CD vendors in italy are listed at (eg.) http://www.de.debian.org/CD/vendors/#it Please note, that unlike with proprietary software, you do not need one set of cd's or disks per computer, but that you can install as many computers as you like with one set of cd's. Should you choose to dowload those from the network, they come at no cost to you (other than network usage charges of your isp). Unless stability is a life-threatening issue, I reccomend you get the "Woody" distribution, which will become finalised/"officially stable" in the next few months. Please note that debian also has support in italian (the debian-italian list, most manuals have been translated I think).

For those pack we paid only the shipping cost. I think that it is a good thing because the student that will use the your distribution on the shool, in the future they will use it in a large company. Are you interested to send us some pack of an old version of Mandrake Linux? The school is a technical high school of Milan in Italy.
