Yes, we're listed as vendor of the official CD. And we don't sell the
official CD. Thats's right. [ As it seems, the statement about not
selling the `official' image got lost, we'll make this more clear. On
the other side it should be clear that this can't be the official
version since non-free/non-US aren't part of the official images, aren't
they? ]
* We don't sell the official Debian images.
* We build the images ourself, the main differences to
the official images are:
- including non-free/non-US (as far as the licenses allow).
- including proposed-updates
- including support for installation from multiple binary disks
- uptodate (updated twice weekly)
An explanation like this will be added to our webpages.
: 2.0rX. Currently they say they ditribute 2.0r2! Now, Phil has just made a

I think, nobody said that 2.0rX are names for the CDs. This are names
for the current state of the Debian archive. And currently the archives
are at 2.0.r2, we mirror this and create our CDs with this release.

What are the difference in the layout? Do you have one of our CDs?

Yes, as said above, we'll make this clear on our web pages.
