I think Pietro raises an interesting point here. I bought the CDs
twice for the same reasons as Pietro's, i.e. to support a nice Linux
distribution for PPC. However, I payed more than $60 each time. That
means the shipping was even more expensive than the actual
distribution. I could have bought YDL in a local shop but even here in
Berlin they are quite slow to have the latest version available. BTW,
one of the German resellers mentioned on
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/resellers/international.shtml was
not even capable to offer a decent payment method for their online
shop.
It would be really great if Terra Soft could find a way to reduce
shipping costs for their really excellent product. I remember online
purchases from the U.S. which where much more affordable. For now I
decided to go with apt-get for the 2.3 upgrade.
