Software packages put together on CD or DVD is called distro or distribution and is easy to install and use. Internet in South Africa is slow and unreliable with cap on total bandwidth usage.

As you can see free software download is slow and problematic with often dropped connections. Our SA Linux distributor service lowers the pain and cost of downloads and also provides technical support. Save time and money !
