[plug] Thanks To All Contributors - CDs ordered from Linux IT

[Peter T Spicer-Wensley]

Party On Pluggers! 
 
Thanks for all of the replies from all of you fine people. I shall
follow these up.
 
I went to the plug website and have ordered a Whitebox Linux CD set from
Linux Information Technology (one of PLUG's sponsors) from their online
store.
 
It should arrive today or Monday. I shall see how this distro goes and I
shall let you know how I get on.
 
I didn't want to start a distro war (or a text editor war - though I use
vi personally ;-) but recieved what I needed - good advice from people
with more knowledge than myself. I also think that the RedHat pricing
for education is fair and may take this up if Whitebox, CentOS or
something else won't do what I need.
 
I shall look out for the Magazine cover versions of other distros and
may crank these up if Whitebox 3 doesn't do what I need.
 
Thanks again for the links, contacts, advice and humour - BTW I loved
the whole pigeon doorbell thread - _I_ thought it WAS on topic - BTW
RedDot have wireless doorbells that you can wear on your belt if you
want to (well the "bell" bit had a belt clip anyway - I assume you put
the button bit next to your front door) for under $20. Saw this last
night while over at Gateways RedDot on the corner of Beeliar and the
Kwinana freeway. I assume other RedDots would have the same kind of
thing.
