Does anyone know of a seller of open-source software tools,
such as spring, hybernate, jboss, the latest java se & ee,
netbeans,


...no, but..

...eclipse, etc. I do not currently
have broadband internet, and while I'm used to buying
inexpensive CDs and DVDs of the latest linux distros at
places like CheapBytes and CheapISO, I've never found
anyone selling burned disks of software tools such as
the above mentioned.


The other day I needed NetBeans 5.0 (just to get some
screenshots - of all things!) and could not 'afford' the 60Meg
(my monthly usage is 100Mg). So I dropped in at a local
PC fix-it shop, with a floppy containing the URL and a
blank CD - the owner downloaded it for me for $5 (Aust.*).

* For those unfamiliar with the Oz dollar, that equates to
around 14 Dirhams.

...Anyone know of any?

Actually, if you had accepted Google's offer to ..

and softwaretools, as it was, you were actually
*multi*-posting, which is not generally well received.
