How Can I Get a Distribution?
If you can, please dig into your wallet and buy a copy of your distribution. Linux distributions are extremely inexpensive - usually around $30 for a complete system, and anywhere from $70 to around $150 for a larger system with more server software or development tools. Even the $30 "basic" systems contain the equivalent of thousands of dollars in proprietary tools, and are an incredible value. The distributors invest many of your dollars into further development, and most of them fund outside open source projects. Commercial distributions are available from book and electronics stores, or you can order from their websites. If you use Debian GNU/Linux, which is a volunteer project and a non-profit, you can donate directly to them instead. There are some websites that sell Linux CD's very inexpensively. Try: |
