First the bad news: LFY in Jan 2004 is priced at Rs 70 (against Rs 50 
earlier). 

	On the other hand, they've come out with a couple of CDs
	which seem interesting:
	* FreEduc 1.4 www.ofset.org -- the very interesting educational
	tools running off a Knoppix-like interface. Check it if you
	haven't seen it yet. It worked fine on my PC (after grumbling
	and mentioning a few errors). But it took time to run off my
	CDrom, using my PC. Waiting for someone (Banduji or Derek) to
	help me install it to my harddisk. My daughter loved the
	earlier version of FreEduc, which also taught her the rudiments
	of playing chess.
	* GNOME 2.4 (the latest release of the GNOME desktop),
	Allegro, Alsa, CheckInstall, Glib, glibc, GTK,
	gtkmin, RAWRITE, SmartBootManager, messengers (Yahoo, MSN),
	Blender (3D modelling tool), downloader4X (downloading utility),
	VisualWorks (IDE for small talk), Lazarus (IDE for free Pascal),
	GIMP (latest release), Apollon, Briquolo, Flwriter, Epiphany,
	Gnumeric, Yawk, BomberClone, LSH, Peacock... and a whole lot
	of News Clients (MyNewsGroups, Gnus, Tin, KNode, Mahagany,
	Knews, Slrn, Sylpheed, Thunderbird, Pan, tr6pro_vikmans.zip
	I've not checked any of these s/w though...

Disclosure: I write a column for LFY, but highlighting what's interesting 
in its issues is not part of my work, but rather intended to help build 
interest in GNU/Linux. FN
