[CLUG] OpenSuSE 10 is out

[CLUG] OpenSuSE 10 is out

Could someone burn the SuSE 10 Eval DVD for me please? That's the one with
the proprietary stuff on it. If you give me your address I'll send a DVD on
Monday. (Need to buy some. On that topic, any local recommendations for
small quantities? I went with Maplins the last time.)

Thank,
adam
