[OT] TuxDVDs - Online Linux Distro Store Open

[Sameep]

TuxDVDs is a brand new online store selling Linux , BSD and Solaris Distros . Since its only a couple of days old , it only has 50 distros as of now. However , new Distros are going to be added everyday.

Presently , PayPal and Cheque / DD are the only modes of payment , however a Cash On Delivery solution is in the pipeline.

All CDs are about Rs. 50 and DVDs about Rs. 100 . The prices may vary a bit since they are pegged to the US Dollar [ A PayPal Requirement ] . Big Distro Packs like Debian are at a discounted price of about Rs. 250.

Shipping is at a flat rate of Rs. 50 [Approx], handled by Professional Courier Services and should take a maximum of 3 Working Days.

I hope everyone finds it useful.

TuxDVDs : The Best Online Distro Store

The store is brand new and might have a few bugs. I would be grateful if members of the LUG would be kind enough to point them out.

Your about section is empty. Your contact section should include a email
address and phone number. All distribution pages should link to their
home page. The criteria for "featured products" is not clear.. You
should consider including Fedora Electronics Lab in your Fedora section
and most importantly you should be very explicit about what regions you
are willing to ship to. If this is specific to India, make that clear.

You might also consider sharing the profits with the projects in
question in some way.

Yes I know . I have to set it up. Its only been 3 days since I started working on it.

I'll probably do it once I've finished adding all the distros. I also want to add screenshots to each product. Since its time consuming , I'm going to wait till I have some time. There are quite a few people from the LUG who have shown keen interest in participating. So if I can get someone to help me out , the product pages should be updated in a few days.

The shipping regions are mentioned in the Customer Service page along with expected delivery times. One the About page is updated , I'll add it there too.

This site is not really for profit. However , once I recover the domain and hosting costs , I'll probably use the rest of the money to distribute CDs / DVDs for free.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Appreciated. Please keep it coming.
