Also on my hard drive:

Most of these have been obtained from places like Linux Format DVDs,
APC mag, files.bigpond, and direct downloads.

I'm keen on getting a copy of a collection of all the debian updates :)

BTW, it seems that debian 3.0 will be included in the july issue of APC.

And if you happen to see the June issue of Linux Format, it has the
dvd install of Mandrake 9.1 on one side, and slackware 9.0 on the
other (along with DamnSmallLinux, PeanutLinux and Warewulf).  I've
seen the offial redhat 9.0 boxed set available at many newsagents
too.

You can grab whatever you like :-)  Most are iso images on my hdd,
many as cdroms.
