The author of the review, Steve Wood, contacted Craig Adams and myself
for input, and requested CDs for the magazine. I contacted Canonical,
who said that magazines must produce/supply the CDs themselves,
although artwork etc is available. Since SACM distribute other
software on their CD, they would have had to go to DVD to be able to
include Ubuntu as well as the other stuff, and they didn't have the
budget to do that.

If anyone has any contacts at SACM or any other local magazine, we
could try again...
