[ale] Suse 9.1 Consortium # 1 - closed

[Matthew Brown]

One question: Even though I signed up to share the cost of buying one copy
of SUSE 9.1, I must have missed the initial post on this.  Why is this a
consortium?

I offered to use our snail mail system as distribution.  I live in Buford so
I know no one wants to come and visit me :)  I have the time to make copies.
DVD's are easier for me but I can also do CS's.
