You are all very welcome! I'm glad I could share this with you, and I hope it helps you as much as it did me. As for the lug field I put in a name. But it really didnt matter. They sent it to me, and i'm pretty sure it really doesnt matter what you put in that field.
 
Thank you for submitting a request for Linux CD's for your Linux User's Group. We will contact you shortly and confirm shipment. We appreciate your interest in Linux and Pogo Linux as we strive to toward providing the highest-quality Linux workstations, servers, and storage solutions that are affordable, powerful, and reliable.

thanks!

Not to thread crap, but I have been signing up for Pogo releases for 2 years or so, and I've yet to see one @ my door. I dont know if theyve changed since the last time I tried, but I wouldnt get your hopes up. They only have a very limited supply of the release they are offering for the month. I assume if you were to be one of the first to sign up you might get it. This is just fyi.
 
Dear Linux Enthusiast,

Thank you for visiting our site and requesting a free
Linux CD. We currently limit the CD's to Linux Users
Groups, because the cost of sending each to
individuals would be prohibitive.

If you belong to a LUG in your area, request that your
LUG leader send us an email requesting the CD's. While certainly anyone can start their own LUG in their basement, we're offering this on the honor system that has been the backbone of the Linux community's success. We've had this program for about 4 years now and have distributed over 100,000 CD's around the world. We're counting on your cooperation to help keep the costs low, and the distribution high.

Please only request these CD's if you are a LUG leader
& let us know how many sets you need. We will do our best
to fill all requests, and we will delay shipments if
supplies run out pending new CD's being made. We
typically send CD's out in batches every 2 weeks or
so.

Please forward this message to your local LUG leader
for them to request the CD's from us & we will ship
them accordingly.

Together, we can change this world: One CD at a time.

I'm not cheap enough to lie to get them to send me a free CD.
 
I just got an email from them saying sorry you have to belong to a LUG. And, it sounds like the "LUG leader" has to send them an email to confirm you're a member and it's ok to send you the cds. Sux.
 
Thx for posting this, as I now know whether they actually do want to send me a cd 🙂.
