[plug] ISO's please

[sol]

True to character, I've decided to dive right in and work it out as I go 
along. I've organised to run a "free software for newbies" class at 
Murdoch for the general public, free of charge (and there still might be 
people that want their money back!) starting in week 5 (Aug 26). It will 
consist of one intro lecture that will be well publicized on campus plus 
four followup tutorials on various aspects of FS - but I haven't decided 
exactly what yet! :-P  Probably one class on OOo, one on desktop usage 
and applications, one on Linux fundamentals, and one I haven't decided 
yet. (Anyone think I've missed out anything is welcome to put their hand 
up to help. :-) )

Anyway, I'm going to be giving OOo and Linux a big PLUG - actually this 
is really a marketing exercise dressed up as a intro tutorial. ;-)  I 
have to provide a copy of OOo and a Linux distro to the Guild (who are 
organising it and want some economic return) who will sell copies for $5 
per CD - that's how I convinced the Guild to make it free of charge and 
open to the public.

My question here is:
Does anyone have the latest version of SuSE (8.0) or Mandrake (8.3) on 
CD? Can I grab a copy sometime soon? I live in Willetton but travel NoR 
on a fairly regular basis and can pick them up no worries. Help here 
would be much appreciated.

I've decided to go with these distros because they have the easiest 
install and lots of handholding graphical wizards to aid complete 
newbies, IMO.

Also I have a suggestion: If there is going to be an install-fest, any 
chance that it could be organised for early October. That way I could 
direct those that come to the workshop (see below for blurb) to the 
install-fest if their interest in Linux is sparked.
