Well I did mail him the Kanotix distro to get him from KDE 3.4.x to 3.5.2.  
But he now is several months behind again.  However his demands are not high 
so he doesn't need the latest.  I have considered making a CD of my upgrade 
cache but he wants some 'ham' software that I will have to add first.  Soon 
as i do that, there will be a new release, I just know it.

What you're offering is a Debian install CD / DVD?  I don't know how easy it 
would be to upgrade Kanotix from that.  I installed a new Debian but missed 
all the special utils etc that come with a Distro. It is now overwritten by 
PC-BCD. Not too impressed with FreeBSD so far.
