Well prices vary from $25 for Everything Linux 7 CD Set [1] (not not
available until the 12th of August) to $44.95 for a 8 CD set (don't know
what is on the extra one) from Linux System Labs [2]. Lankum.com (formerly
Cetus Technology) are in the upper mid range at $38.50 for there 7 CD set.
Unfortunately Linux WA [4] don't have a price on there website but I'm sure
Chris will post a price to the list and you can probably save yourself the
postage if you can get to the store. (None of the above prices include
postage).

Well I know Linux WA can help you out with a faster net connection if you
are in a DSL enabled area !!!

Unfortunately there aren't any Aussie companies that can supply a DVD copy
of Woody even though Daily Debian DVD (large ISO) snapshots have been
happening since the 24 Apr 2002 [5]
