Prices are in GBP - multiply by 1.5 to get approximate USD equivalent.

New users: Note you do not need the "source" CD's to install a distribution. These contain the source code for the applications should you wish to tweak them or complie them with special settings, and are generally only useful to advanced users.

Need something that's not listed here? Just ask! and I'll try to find it for you. To save on site admin, I don't list all the CD's I actually have available. I can normally meet special requests quite quickly provided the CD's are available on the internet and copying restrictions do not prevent re-distribution.
