The only user group I belonged to was a Mac group back when Macs were new. and part of its function was distribution of PD software on floppies. If we could get a Linux user group going in a community with sufficient resources they could handle making a set of master floppies and arranging for bulk copying. I have not heard of any Linux groups but I would be glad to help organize one. Paul
