to all the aussies in here or anyone with information, i live in New South Wales, and i just want to say its soooo hard to find distrobutions, i have had to get mine from magazines in the newsagency, but i would really love to buy a boxed set, i am currently looking for SuSe 8.0, and i am not sure if they can ship it to Australia from the net, but even if they can i am not sure of the price difference and i'm 14 so i don't have a credit card or anythging....can anyone help?? plus i have a dialup modem, though i wouldn't mind donwloading it, theres just sooooo many files and directories.......any info would dearly help....
SuSE ain't all that. Try using something like wget to capture all the packages, and then do the install from your local hard drive. It might be a little easier that way than doing the FTP install.
hmmmm but i would like a boxed set because it comes with open office doesn't it, and some other stuff, and i want a Linux distro which is pretty much GUI, or isn't SuSe the thing for me ?...
GT I.N.C., the title of your post really made me laugh!
I saw in the posts:
X Windows crashed!
PHP Problem. Help!

Being in australia really can't be that much of a problem. My mate is over here in the UK from Melbourne and thinks it's winter and all the girls are too fat!
