Hi Arati, I would suggest against getting the CDs from the PC magazine you have in mind. Your research on the net has in my opinion led you to the correct conclusion that Ubuntu is a good distribution for beginners. So just keep looking for Ubuntu CDs. Amit Karpe has sent a useful reply to your mail, get in touch with him for the CDs (remember to give him a blank CD in return, thats how it works). > > I read below statement on http://www.plug.org.in/software.php . > 'PLUG would request individuals/organizations to Buy the free software from > the official distributors as far as possible'. > That is why I enquired about the official distributors. Its very commendable that you had the patience to go through the website. Contrary to Gaurav's opinion, I think that a well designed website should be able to point you towards the right direction. If the website has created more questions than it has answered, the website and its designers are at fault, not you. The only reason you would want to buy a CD/DVD from a vendor is for the support they provide. But that is for people who don't have time to explore, learn and fix things on their own. So the decision is yours. You can always get help on this mailing list if you ask questions properly (http://plug.org.in/mailinglist.php and http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) , are patient and can ignore most of the replies which have nothing to do with the question you ask (like this one? :) ) Hope this helps. Cheers, Aditya. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
