Linux? Money? Heheheh. What stone have you've
been hiding under junior?
LINUX IS FREEE, MAN!
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.

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...

New subject: Okay one more time: LINUX for $1.49!!
You can get the LATEST DISTRIBUTION any of the major Linux distributions
(Extreme Linux & etc. excluded) for only $1.49!!!!!!!!! (or all 6 for
$10.00).
http://www.linuxmall.com
You can even get a free copy of which ever distribution you want if you
purchase something else!
No, they are not factory over-runs or defects, they downloaded their copies
and had the discs burned.
