The person ordering the CDs has been asked to purchase half Debian,
half RedHat.  So you get a choice :-)

Unfortunately, two things that we can always count on for Debian
releases: 1) a new X comes out four days before, and 2) ACLUG holds an 
install less than a week before :-)

The timing is rather unfortunate, but actually the CD vendors will
take a week or two before they have CDs ready for public consumption,
and then some more time while they satisfy the backlog of orders
placed already.

Fortunately, Debian upgrades are very nice (easier than RedHat), and
we can go over that at a meeting sometime or on the lists.
