Anyone in Kolkata having openSUSE 10.3 or Mandriva 2008 DVD?

digiz · 29-10-2007, 07:08 AM

Hi all
I have a very slow connection so I can't dream of downloading big files.
But I love linux and desperately want the DVDs of openSUSE 10.3 and Mandriva 2008.
So if anyone in Kolkata has the DVD of openSUSE 10.3 or Mandriva 2008,
please let me know. I will myself come to you with a blank DVD to get a copy.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeez

I need the DVD coz I have a bit slow PC so I want to use Xfce (which is only on the DVD) and I need some educational packages like Kdeedu etc.
My PC is Intel Celeron with 256MB RAM.

So if you have openSUSE 10.3 or Mandriva 2008 and you're in Kol, plz lemme know.

Thanks a lot,
Digiz

Are u Saurav? U dont need to give me Yasser's number coz im Yasser dude! But I don't think I have a large collection of distros...most of them are outdated ones which i downloaded when i had a fast internet connection

But now I have this slow-as-snail dialup-like connection

Whatever latest ones I have are the ones u yourself gave to me....I created a new account here coz i forgot the password of ma previous account....

Glad to see that ur active here in the Open Source section!

@ digiz, openSUSE 10.3 is included in Digit's Nov 2007 month (next month).. so if u can wait for 2 days... all u have to do is go and buy the MAG

Hi Gaurav I'd be really grateful if u could...bcoz dual-layer dvds don't work in my dvd drive....its simply a dvd reader...i think dual-layer dvds work only in dvd-writers..

Thanks...
