Sorry this may be a little late but....

I am also a member of the Leicester LUG and they have a library that holds
some of the more up to date distros that are available for loan/copy.  May
be a little better/cheaper trying that option.

Cheers,

Robb

I won't bother too much with the preferences, I would say that any of SuSE
(I 
quite like it), Red Hat (not used it since err, something ages ago) or
Mandrake 
(I like this too) would be good, as differences are not that great for a
newbie.

Anyway, all of this is a very long-winded way of saying that when I bought a

boxed set of SuSE 6.4 it was from Waterstones. It was in Exeter a couple of 
years ago, but I would think that the second biggest waterstones in the
country 
would probably have something in stock.

Regards,

Joe
