Commercial Distribution recommendation?

Post by temp.. » Fri, 28 Apr 1995 04:00:00



I'm looking for a company that sells the Linux distribution on floppy.  This is for
my local college, who does not have internet access and would much rather deal
with a ... dealer, i guess.

Any suggestions as to who to call?  Were in northern Illinois (USA).

Infomagic sells the Linux Developers Toolkit, which is a 4 CD-ROM set that
includes the Slackware distribution, source code, and lots of other good
stuff that Linux users need.  I'm not sure if floppy is such a good idea...
It is possible to get a small Linux distribution on a managable amount of
floppies, but if you want stuff like*or X Windows, CD-ROM's are cheaper
and a lot less hassle.

1. Please recommend commercial distribution

(I'm posting this through a friend.  Note the Reply-to line above:

Hi.  My work now would like us to order a commercial vendor's Linux
distribution.  I have identified two such vendors in the U.S.: Nascent
and Yggrasil.

Both offer Linux for about the same price (though Nascent has a "plus"
package that includes 6 months email support).  Aside from the email
support, and just looking at the distributions themselves, does anyone
have any feelings regarding which one is the better buy?

I'm looking mainly at two things: (1) how easy it is to install, and
(2) how easy it is to maintain.  Included software isn't important,
but I do need the standard file tools, Emacs, bash, and a C compiler.

To be honest, I'm leaning towards Yggrasil because of that "Plug and
Play" approach.
