<grin> That would be a neat treat, but the trick would be getting
them produced and shipped from Holland in less than 2 weeks ;)

Of course, if anyone really needs a copy I certainly could burn some :)

P.S. I'm running Gutsy right now and having a great time exploring and
discovering. Upgrade from Feisty went very well, though all my home
folder settings (the cosmetic stuff; font and theme mostly) made the
result less pretty than in VirtualBox, so I did a clean install
(didn't need to, but I also wanted to put /home on a separate
partition and wanted to let the GUI do the work ;). Even in beta its
just awesome. Basic Compiz effects are turned on (TEG is actually
more fun to play as a side effect of the way the windows close;
unexpected but neat!) by default on my desktop machine (two and a half
years old) and its just humming along beautifully (plus the Restricted
Drivers Manager says I don't need any non-libre drivers :). Switching
to Advanced Compiz effects (one click in the Window settings) adds
Wobbly Windows. Tracker does such a good job I don't have any desire
to install Google Desktop Search. Firefox 3 (currently alpha 8) is
sitting in the universe repository just waiting for the future
release.
