But I'm here in the UK so I can help. Most people download their GNU/Linux distributions. However you can buy from Cheapbytes.com and they'll ship to the UK. But the main UK dealer is the Linux Emporium. www.linuxemporum.co.uk There are many local lugs Linux User Groups. We here in Northampton have a very good one. Please visit http://www.northants.lug.org.uk Your friend that uses Mandrake will be useful as Redhat and Mandrake are rpm based distributions. Did you realise that you could download talking Redhat from the speakup site? But need a hardware synthesiser.
