The getting a group together to reduce shipping cost is essentially 
what we do with the CDs that NTLUG used to order each month (and will 
start doing again). All of the ones we have gotten for the last several 
years have been from Linux Central. They have been very good to us over 
the years and I highly recommend using them for your own individual 
purchases of CDs as well.
