Linix is free, but it still costs money.
You need a computer, need a CD, need other HW.
You need a Distribution CD
And a little time.
Shure, you can just get it over the Web ... and pay $$$
just for transmission ... and the needed time.
And after thet you need time to install ...
TIME IS MONEY.
Linux is free but not without cost.

You could get someone to burn you a CD copy, or find someone willing to
give away their old distribution CD. I was able to get a copy of RedHat
5.1 burned for $5. I'm sure you could find someone fairly easily who
would do something similar.
I ran across a web page that listed people with old distribution CD's who
would either give them to you or let you borrow them.
