Sorry for "replying to myself", just noticed that you can order the Slackware
14.2 CD or DVD right off of the site: store.slackware.com. The 6-CD set and
the DVD are both US$50. As much as it used to be back in the 90s: US$60
(before inflation).
Imagine that, I didn't think that Linux distributions still sell CDs.
