Well you also have http://www.everythinglinux.com.au and numerous other
resellers. The Linux Distributors market in Oz is starting to get a little
bit crowded.

One thing to note with all of this is the need to distinguish between an
"Official" boxed and a CDR from the distro's ftp site. If you see RedHat for
$12 you are getting what you pay for, a CDR in a sleeve with some writing on
the front. Most of the time this is pretty clear, but sometimes people can
feel they are getting ripped off when they see these prices after having
brought the "Official" boxed set which comes with a whole bunch of mainly
"demo" apps and manuals.

I think I have spent more on Linux software in the last couple of years than
I have on Windows because I have on the whole brought "official" boxed sets.
