They are now also in Belgium :)
The story about Wim is very sad tough (http://accounting.kd85.com/). I think I will buy him a few shirts.

Thanks for all the developers efforts to give me a new release of my favourite operating system!
CU, Sico.

Cool artwork; I enjoyed the "PacMan on PCB" on the back/inside case :)
Of course I'm going to install it asap, today if I get to it. Frustrating part however: what about the packages/architectures not included on those CDs?
The two options I see:
* Get the source, compile all that stuff: time-consuming, inconvenient.
* Wait another 2 weeks. (sucks)
It would be extremely convenient to have the "off-CD" binaries at the same time as the official CDs.
Would the Team be open to the idea of releasing ARM, alpha etc and packages as CDs start to ship (at this point, the release is finalized anyway)? Call it 'pre-4.5' or something if needed.
Or include a temporary username+password for a private FTP server on the order confirmation and/or the receipt shipped with the CDs? Same for recent donations above a certain amount?
That'd be an extra incentive for some to donate or buy the CDs, wouldn't it?

We couldn't if we wanted to. They are still doing the first hop out
to the top-level mirror. The network has been saturated for around 10 days already.
This is Canada, after all. There is no Internet up here. I have 2.5Mbit total outbound, and that is more than any other house in Western Canada, I suspect, because every network provider says no, or asks for millions of dollars to run a fiber for 5 blocks.
