Where to get Linux
There are several ways to get Linux, now when you know how supreme it is =) Mainly there are two ways; From the net, if you have a fast internet connection (or a friend with fast access..). From a CD, they're really quite inexpensive.
CDROM Vendors
Examples of companys selling CD's with Linux on, is Walnut Creek CDROM and Infomagic.
FTP sites containing Linux.
There are a lot of them ! First, check out the main webpage of the distribution you want and check out their instructions for getting the dist. They often have a list of mirrors containing the same files, that way you won't load the main server too much, and you'll get a faster transfer. An important Linux ftp site is sunsite.unc.edu. There are a lot of Linux programs and distributions there. Other important sites is tsx-11.mit.edu and prep.ai.mit.edu. Learn how to find programs, especially on sunsite, since there is almost always what you want, it's just a matter of finding it.
