I ordered a CD from these people over a month ago and have still not received it.

Several e-mail have gone unanswered.

I guess they figure the dollar amounts being small will keep them below the radar.

They are rip off artists, stay awy from them.

Thanks, Sabertooth.

Seems others have had similar problems while others got there stuff right away.

Today seems like a good day to chew through the restraints.

Actually, the link to that site came from a posting here.

I wanted to update my Linux cd anyway and when I ran across the link I went there and d/l'd it.

Not all the links to sites here are fool proof, although I'm sure the poster had no idea it would turn out to be a bum deal.

Thanks.

I don't know if this is what your looking for but Ubuntu ships free Cd's. Takes about a month or so but I got 3 free copies (one of each version), no shipping either.

Cool.

I've used Ubuntu before and really liked it.

You folks have been a great help.
