Hi I thought I had found a wonderful site in *www.linuxbazar.comhttp://www.linuxbazar.com * based in Banaglore from where I could order Linux Cd's of the latest distros and that too within week.
*Today i was shocked when I visited there site to find that it has been shut down.* Infact I ordered Debian Sarge and Slack 10.1 and many more Cd's from them in the 1st week of May 05 and I got them real fast. I dont know when they started there site but got the url from this mailing list. They site the shutting down is due to lack of time on there side and also that due to the advent of broadband downloading is fast and so distro downloads will be fast. Is it really the truth in India thru a broadband connection?. I do not have one but am planning to have one. This is the 2nd instance when a site which distributes linux distros at nominal prices has shut down basically due to time constraints. Anyways great job done. Thanks to Linux bazar for spreading or trying to spread linux in India by making Cd's available. Thanks and Regards Ninad Bapat

Yes, I too was "shocked" today. I wanted to checkout whether they had certain distros and when I visited the site *bam* it was closed! And about the "broadband" part in India. It's a myth. There are no decent broadband providers. They give you speed but charge heavily for the downloads.
