I'm offering a CD-ROM with the complete Slackware Linux 2.2.0 distribution,
plus the docs directory from tsx-11.mit.edu, for $12.
Slackware is the most popular Linux distribution, and it's been getting bigger.
The current distribution contains almost 300 MB of Linux software,
documentation, installation scripts, boot and root disks, and source code.
This works out to over 200 1.44 meg floppy disks or about 55 hours of
time on-line with a 1.44Kbps modem. Or one $12 CD :-)
Here are some of the highlights of Slackware 2.2.0:
o Unix-like operating system with the usual Unix commands
o easy installation and configuration
o supports most PC hardware
o complete documentation on CD
o X Window System (XFree86 3.1.1) with graphics and applications software
o TCP/IP (Internet) services, e-mail, telnet, ftp, etc.
o modem communications programs
o TeX, LaTeX, and other *TeX programs
o tons of other applications programs, name it, it's probably there
o X games, text games, SVGA games
o C/C++ compiler and debugger (gcc 2.6.3)
o GNU Ada compiler (GNAT), GNU Pascal compiler (gpc), f2c, other languages
o complete source code
The CD sells for $12.00 US. It will begin shipping immediately. For
shipping within the US and Canada, please add $3.00. Other countries
please add $10.00. Checks, money orders and CODs accepted. Add $4.00
for COD orders. If paying by personal check, your order will ship after
the check clears. I will donate part of the profits to the Free Software
Foundation. Contact me to order or for more information (e-mail will
be checked and answered daily):
