At the Clan x86 forums, we're starting a Slackware Chain Letter type thingy. We're gonna mail eachother Slackware CD's, which the reciever will pass on, or copy and pass on the copy. Postage is about 4 dollars in Canada, says iago. He just mailed some to me today.

EDIT: If you want to get in line to recieve Slack CD's, please make your post at the x86 forums, so that its a simple order to follow instead of jumping between two forums.

I know it does, but people do silly things. If we must be dumb, lets be dumb while spreading Slack.

Unless you're on dialup, it's probably easier just to download it from http://www.slackware.com/torrents :P
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

I'm on dialup. Thats my reason for having you mail them to me. Warrior wanted me to mail it to him because hes too lazy to get it himself.

I already download stuff all night long, every night. I don't need that delayed a month by Slackware when I can have it mailed to me.

You should insert me in the second slot of the mailing chain. If you mail it to me surface mail, it'll just be a swift 2-3 month delivery time ;)

I'm gonna guess I should've guessed that, sine Mephisto's "Swedish Translation" topic was in Adron's forum...I SERIOUSLY need to become more aware of what is happening to me.  Does it really take that long to mail something there & get it back?

If you ever send something to me, label it "Air Mail", so the delivery time shrinks to 4-6 working days :)

No, not really. Do you know how slow 56k really is? 100MB per day.

700MB per CD.
x2 =
1400
/ 100
14

14 Days. Mailing is two.

Phone bills? Hey, might be cheaper too.
