[comp.os.linux.announce] COMMERCIAL: FREE Debian 1.3.1 CD

[Ben Gertzfield <che@imsa.edu>]

Erm, is this kosher? Is it okay for the Linux Mall people to offer a
1-disk 'Official Debian' that they've modified?

I thought 'Official Debian' was 2-disk only, with no modifications.

==================== FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ====================

            --------------> FREE Debian 1.3.1 CD <--------------

Due to popular demand, the Linux Mall is making latest version of Official
Debian available on a single CD, at the best possible price.

Debian Linux is one of the most popular Linux Distributions available, and
version 1.3.1 is the latest available "Official" version.

This Debian CD was manufactured directly from the Official Debian CD image
at ftp.debian.org. The only things that have been done to it are minor
improvements on the README file, along with the addition of a copy of the
Linux Mall archive and the FlagShip test drive.

Debian 1.3.1 from the Linux Mall is available for FREE *if* ordered online
from our Web Site.

This Debian CD is also available at the retail price of $9.95, when ordered
via any other method such as mail, fax or phone because it costs us more to
process these orders than when you do the order entry for us yourself
online. Save us money, and we save you money!.

A Shipping and Handling charge does apply in *either* case. More information
is available at: http://www.LinuxMall.com/products/00603.html

Q:

   * Since we don't make any money providing FREE CDs (in fact we spend
     money) why do we do it? Especially with no strings attached?

A:

   * Because we hope you will find one or more additional items that you
     would like to purchase when you come request your FREE CD.
   * Because we want you to tell your friends and everyone else about us.
   * Because we want you to check out our web site, and to be able to show
     you we are an excellent company by serving you in a way no one else
     will.
   * Because we want you to want to come back to buy other products and
     service offerings on which we do make money.
   * Because we don't want to leave people with an excuse not to try Linux.
   * And, because we are one of the original Linux companies (since 1994)
     who believes that Linux itself should be FREE while products that cost
     money should have substantial value added.

Please read the information about us presented below.
