Hello all,
I have just finished my first BeroLinux 1.1 CDs. As with version 1.0,
there are 3 CDs (K6 version, i586 version, Sources).

I'll snailmail CDs to ISPs first thing in the morning - download should be
available some time next week.

I can start taking orders for CD sets right now - a set of 3 CDs is 10
Euro + postage. You can take off 1.2 Euro for every CD you don't want.
Postage:
- in Germany:     3.00 DM
- in Europe:      2.56 Euro
- outside Europe: 5.11 Euro

People in America might want to wait for a while - there will be US
distributors soon (so postage will get cheaper for you).
