Hi Zonker


I'd be happy to be that point of contact in New Zealand.  I'm doing
presentations to Lugs NPOs and Schools all the time both on OOo and
desktop Linux.  I'd move a couple of hundred without any stress at all.
The guys at Novell's Auckland office were kind enough to give me two
boxes of the packaged SLED/SLES 10 DVDs when 10 was first released, I
probably handed out more of those than any individual Novell employee. 

A few of the 11.0 packaged versions would go down well as well.  I do
presentations to groups of Seniors doing computer training programmes
and they always ask for a a manual.  Unfortunately there's no source for
those locally.  

Cheers
GL
