I just got mine in the mail and didn't have to pay any brokerage fees. My copy was shipped from some place on the east coast in the US even though I ordered it through the Stormix web site.

I ordered the deluxe boxed set from Stormix: Storm Linux 2000 Deluxe Edition 69.95 1 0.00 GST: 4.89 Tax Total: 0.00 Shipping: Express - USA: 21.99 Grand Total: 91.94 Imagine my surprise when the UPS guy tells me that I owe him $38 in brokerage fees !! I refused the package and I've canceled my order. I don't need stormix that bad. I'll just have to learn how to install Debian the hard way -- I've tried 3 times so far : slink and now potato. With Potato I've gotten X-Windows up - but I can't connect to the internet (WVDial fails with my ISP) and I can't print (the LP module wouldn't install during the installation). Just to let everyone know about the brokerage fees. Bill -- Bill Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
