You could get someone to burn you a CD copy, or find

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.
Haven't all you hard-core Linuxers bought from www.linuxmall.com yet? I
have paid $1.49 for CD's of the last 6 distributions I've used. They also
sell major applications (Word Perfect, Star Office, Applixware) for less
than the source vendors. I think I got the Applixware student version for
~$50 a couple of years ago. Oh yeah, they also sell Oreily books cheaper
than Oreily...
