[GTALUG] debian Linux -- Installation DVDs Full Set - Shipped To Canadian Destination ??

[Andrew Paolucci]

Hey Steve,

I'm in the Toronto area and would be willing to burn and ship you the DVDs for cost, what to cite exactly which ones you want along with any other things? If you want I can purchase you a HDD and ship some other bandwidth intensive files/torrents.

Regards,
Andrew Paolucci
