For folks interested in running UltraLinux 1.1 from a bootable CDROM, EIS Computers will be making them available very shortly - as soon as we get the newest image here and get it up and running and are sure we made it right. to that end, if I can find a few folks in Southern California interested in running this let me know if you will be a beta tester, and I will send you a free copy. Here we have SME Ultra AXi and AXmp boxes, and a very small number of Sun workstations - we would like to run this on a variety of boxes to make sure we did the CDROM correctly. I will make ten CDs for beta testers. Overall, we will sell them for $20 each, to cover cost of media and the time it takes to burn the CDs by hand. If we get enough requests we will do a production run of the CD, in which case the cost will be lower, like around $10. This cost does not cover support of course. That may come later. We will ship via FedEx 2nd day for $7 or by US mail for $5, (to cover the cost of the postage and the CDROM mailer). I recommend FedEx. We can only do it at this price for NorthAmerican users. Shipping overseas is too expensive, unless you are willing to pay it - tell me if you are in your email reply. So, if you want one, let me know by email to dvb@eis.com. Please put ULTRA LINUX in the Subject so my mail reader can filter them (or just reply to this message). At this point, I am not taking an order, just understanding how many we should expect to make. Send it to me form a reply-able email address, and when we are ready to take orders (on our web store and by FAX), we will let you know. by email. dvb
