Re: [ot - sort of] spammer bites the dust (goodbye gtcdrom.com)



What is this GT enterprises bieng closed?

Why did a firm serving linux community should be terminated like this?

i really did not undersatnd about spaming by these people.

They  might have thought of Doing marketing through the net, iis it that bad?

Please clear my Doughts.

Where s the other place where in i can find linux cd's and software's in banglore?
