This was started about a week ago. I understand the price adds up to
about $10 media+documents (pretty cheap) plus about $10 shipping. However
they are advising there will probably be a large backlog to start, so wait
and order later if you can. Maybe the Linux group might do some mooching
in the best Andreas style to get one/some for the library/doorprizes? :)
Sun are saying they want Linux to prosper.

Well, it is about the best of the commercial Unixes, such as they are.
