Where can I get Linux?

All the Linux distributions mentioned in Which Linux can be downloaded from www.linuxiso.org .

A high speed (broadband) internet connection is recommended and a CD writer is required to make the installation CDs.

The files that you download are CD images ("ISO" files) and need to be put on to a CD. The help files for your CD writing software should give you directions for creating a CD from an ISO file as it is slightly different from creating a regular CD, or you can read some frequently asked questions on ISO's at LinuxISO.

If you don't have a fast internet connection you can legally copy a Linux CD from a friend or buy it very cheaply on the internet. A few sites that sell cheap Linux CD's are:

OS Heaven, Linux Central and LinuxDist in the United States,

LinuxEmporium and CheepLinux in England,

and Lankum in Australia.

Also you can click here for a search Google for Linux on CD. You should be able to find a complete Linux distribution for less than the price of a new music CD. 

NEW! Tuxs.org is now pleased to offer specially selected Linux distributions for you to buy.
