SWD Tech intends to offer 64-bit disk sets in the near future!

UPDATE - 28Jun05 - Postage / courier details updated and version 3.1 added to store.

UPDATE - 25Jun05 - Our Debian GNU / Linux 3.1 release 0a master disk set is complete and has passed testing. Now for the question of how much we will have to increase our fees (the number of CD's in the official distribution has doubled), and how much the Post Office will demand to delivery the packages. We will update this page on Monday 27th with the details.

UPDATE - 16Jun05 - Debian 3.1 release 0a is available for download and SWD Tech is in the process of creating its disk set. However, at 14 CD's in the official distribution, and many packages being rerolled or completely new to the official distribution, we've elected to download from scatch. We anticipate being ready to distribute by / on Friday 24Jun05.
