	That is an absolute shocker, IMO. I get sent a couple of Spanish
gnu/linux (:D) mags. Apart from the obvious distro every once in a
while, the CD usually comes with the "must-haves" (i.e., newer versions
of kernel, X, gcc and so on) and with quite a choice of program
tarballs. I think this is quite a good arrangement, but I also
understand that you might have that, but the magazine is in B&W, and has
no fancy shots of MUAs and stuff like that. Personally, I can cope with
that, as I read it for the articles, but...
