Free Linux DVDs for schools, unis, LUGs...

Posted at 11:53am on Tuesday February 16th 2010

Yes, it's that time of the year again: we've built up a stack of spare Linux Format magazine coverdiscs in the office, and we'd love to give them away to Linux advocates: eg if you work in education, run a LUG or have another way to spread the word of Free Software.

These DVDs include a variety of bootable distros - Ubuntu, Fedora, CrunchBang, Slackware and more - and also have newbie-friendly guides (in the Help/New to Linux section of the HTML interface).

UPDATE: We've had a huge response to this, so to make sure that everyone who applied gets a decent amount of DVDs, we're closing this offer now. Thanks!

Oh my! If I knew this was coming... I didn't know.
Is there any room for me?

Are they going to open this up again? Or is it a done deal? Our school curriculum would benefit from adding a linux exposure course!

Doing it again?

I just found out about this and I think it is a great idea!
I would love to have it go again to spread the word for Linux. This would be wonderful for my school.
