Hi Sachin,
I don't think you can get debian's latest stable version ( with 2.2.x
kernel ) on CD. At least
not in India as far as I know. But maybe you can contact shanu. He
must be having a burnt CD of the latest *stable* snapshot. Or if you
have the bandwidth ( if you are in office, I for sure know you have
that :-), you can install debian 2.1 and do an apt-get upgrade of the
distro so that you have the latest snapshot. And about the
sendmail exploit, you can install postfix and leave the worries :-)
Anyway, the kernel 2.2.xx that comes with Debian 2.2 has been patched
and is *not* vulnerable.
HTH
THanks
Regards
        - Khader

P.S: Shanu, have you created the CD ?
