I have seen OSdisc.com and they seem pretty good, are there another places to buy from, any cheaper places that ship worldwide?

Have you checked at the Canonical Store (https://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17)? I know they ship worldwide, and I doubt anyone will beat this developer's price. Plus the profits go to the company that pays Ubuntu's bills, which is an extra plus for me.

(The prices look more expensive, but OSdisc like to add hefty prices to the postage...)

Yeah I know about that but I am looking for a variaty of different distros, not just ubuntu. (I already have downloaded ubuntu so I wont need that.)

yes I have seen your store, it is very nice but I already have those downloaded :P. do you ship to lebanon? and by when do you think you will have more distros?(just a tip, osdisc.com provides free shipping for orders over 19.99 which is pretty nice for someone like me who usually pays about $12 shipping for a $3 purchase. I am looking for OpenSolaris, NetBSD, knoppix, LFS and some others.

I ship worldwide :) From Royal Mail (http://royalmail.com).

I can get those distros available for you quite quickly :D About a week? Also what are "the others"? So I can start designing the labels and inserts ;)

before you start putting in a bunch of work into this I think I should tell you that I was not planning on buying the cds at the moment but later on, I will notify you when.

Ok cool. Send me a PM when you're planning to buy them.
