15 words are not much, and you are not lu'ach Yediot! even 50 words won't
hurt the page layout, I doubt if you find more than a dozen advertisers
for the page anyway...

the Linux Inside fake logo was declared Illegal by Intel, and they have
sent quite a few angree letters to non-incorporated  LUG websites
featuring it. if El-Mar inc.  wishes to get sued by Intel for diaplaying
it in a national show, it's its own lookout...

I'm going to make myself a few copies, and even attempt CDROM bootup from
a mirror I made myself, it shouldn't be too hard to make gold copies.
CD-Rs are under $1 here, I'm sure that bulks are under $3 in Israel too,
maybe under $2.

I will once I gain some in the next few hours. basically make an isofs
loop device (filesystem in a file) and copy stuff in. all the executable
matterial (stuff with +x modifiers) is on the floppy image, which BTW
should handle booting the CDROM fine too. there's probably a FAQ
somewhere, I'll forward it if found.

700K with SRPMS, almost 1 gig with alpha version too. Sparc will be out in
a few weeks.
