Hows everyone else doing with this?

Anyone got their bundle lately?

I haven't gotten mine yet either - I'm starting to wonder what's up

I go back to school in a week!

MrFlux · 08-30-2004, 03:32 AM

I got mine... maybe the USPS is faster at delivering mail to other countries

SecretMethod70 · 08-30-2004, 12:27 PM

Finally got it today

Jakejake · 08-30-2004, 02:34 PM

Seems like they are taking orders again... nice.

Cynthetiq · 08-30-2004, 02:44 PM

i just signed up for me and a friend

Aw shit no more :'(

Pragma · 09-01-2004, 08:39 AM

I managed to get an order in a few days ago, and they said they'd ship it - but I've got no idea how long it'll take.

heyal256 · 09-01-2004, 04:06 PM

Wow, i had no idea how lucky I was to sign up in the time from when jakejake said that they were taking oreders again and yotta said that they stopped.

Hopefully they will offer it again to the people who missed out this time.

flamingpeach · 09-01-2004, 04:35 PM

I just got mine in the mail!

Running out to check the mailbox everyday for the last two weeks has paid off.

Wyodiver33 · 09-10-2004, 04:01 PM

I just got mine this week. Took over two months to get it, but the price was right.

oiekeooiyw · 09-13-2004, 05:47 PM

I got mine in the mail today. guess who is rebuilding a box tonight.

Wyodiver33 · 09-13-2004, 05:55 PM

I set mine up on a second HDD, works fine. I wish more software came on DVDs.

Cynthetiq · 09-13-2004, 07:10 PM

one of mine arrived....

hopefully the other one will have arrived at the office.

Slavakion · 09-14-2004, 10:40 AM

Got mine yesterday. If only I knew what to do with it...

glytch · 09-14-2004, 11:22 AM

I must be the only person that hasn't gotten theirs yet. One of these days!

Pragma · 09-14-2004, 11:53 AM

I haven't gotten mine yet - and I'm checking the mail quite often.

Banginblaz · 09-14-2004, 01:06 PM

I guess I am somewhat lucky, I ordered it on the 30th, and got it today, woo hoo!

Thx OP!

You're not the only lucky one today, I got mine in the mail today too

MontanaXVI · 09-17-2004, 05:29 PM

I ordered one and got it within a couple of weeks. Now on to the next question, I know nothing about Linux and just thought this would be something interesting to have, I do have an old Dell server sitting here 933proc 128ram dual 10gig SCSI drives DAT etc. Could I use this as a test system with any of the software that came with that kit to learn any nix or are these programs not beginner friendly?

oiekeooiyw · 09-17-2004, 05:44 PM

SuSE is very beginner friendly. The SuSE 9.1 disk you received is a DVD bootable disk. if you don't have a DVD drive in that computer, go to http://www.linuxiso.org/ and download via FTP.

Pragma · 09-18-2004, 08:14 AM

I got mine in the mail yesterday - but I don't really have a use for it at the moment. Maybe I'll load a virtual machine on my server with it to play around.
