Comments: 1) Any GNU software is freely distributable. Hence, if you want to divide the cost among several friends and use the same installation disks, then that is perfectly legal and a nice way to save money! 2) We do not just download the SLS. The system is installed on a 486/50DX 16MB machine and on a 386/16SX 4MB machine to make sure that the new release is stable. If not, we fix things to make it more stable and useable. Linux is free and can be obtained from numerous ftp sites such as tsx-11.mit.edu and sunsite.unc.edu under GNU license. Downloading the entire SLS with a 9600 baud connection takes about 8 hours, and with a 2400 baud connection about 20 hours. Instead of wasting all this time and energy order the entire SLS on disks for a modest price: US$1.5 copying charge per disk US$1.2 per 3 1/2 disk US$1.0 per 5 1/4 disk US$10.0 Shipping and handling Your *TOTAL* price (includes shipping costs) Series #Disks (3 1/2) (5 1/2) a 4 $20.80 $20.00 a,b,c,d 16 $53.20 $50.00 a,b,c,d,x 26 $80.20 $75.00 a,b,c,d,x,t,s 30 $91.00 $85.00 (all prices are in US$, not including Tax if in MA) Of course one can order individual disks, series or any combinations.

When you order please include: 1) Your name 2) Phone number, (and an email address if possible) 3) a UPS deliverable address 4) The type of *boot* disks you need 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 (note: only disk a1 is required to boot) 5) The type (5 1/4 or 3 1/2) of non-booting disks you would like. Please mail your order to: ATC, Computer Science Dept. 31 Memorial Dr., P.O.Box 504 Avon, MA 02322 Please make check payable to ATC, Computer Science Dept. Questions can be addressed to: tguez@jade.tufts.edu Also available is our SLS accessory disk which contains all the necessary utilities to setup partitions, setup up sls to boot from HD (easily), and a few more invaluable dos/linux utils that do not come with the SLS and are certainly necessary to complete the integration: $1.5 copying charge, $1.0 for 5 1/4 disk or $1.2 for 3 1/2 disk. If you order the entire sls disks series you will also receive a laser printed copy of the necessary README files for installation, and you get free technical support for 30 days via email on installation issues. When a new version of the SLS is available, you may send back your disks to receive a copy of the new version. You will only be charged with a copy charge of the usual $1.5 per disk updated. If any of your disks becomes defective by the time it reaches us, we will replace it for you with the usual $1.0 for 5 1/2 or $1.2 for 3 1/4 for each defective disk. Do not waste time downloading something of that size, order it-- it's worth it.
