I even thought about making the journey to Robin's and suggesting that list members could make some contribution to the costs. But I drive a gas-guzzler and it'd cost a small fortune. Besides, I haven't got that much spare time right now. I thought about posting a CD, but burning an ISO isn't that tough to justify it. I think it also helps when you're doing any task to learn associated tasks that aren't that complex - like burning disks - along the way, because once you've got the knowledge you can adapt it in other ways. I think the Shipit idea is a good one - and one that Robin's taken up - but I think most people would rather just download the image and burn it. It's faster and more convenient this way but a lot of people find doing some things new difficult at first. Oh, and I'm not Mother Theresa. Thanks for the suggestion, though. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
