If you can get one of there nifty magazines...it contains a free cd of Linux

Dont know about downloading though

U cannot download a trial because Linux is free, there wudn't b a need for a trial version. If u get a Linux mag for a look shop or summit they usually come with a version that boots from cd, i.e. Knoppix.

Go out and buy a magazine, that comes with a free linux distro that boots from cd, like i said earlier.

Sebouh · 12-20-2004, 08:44 PM

www.linux.org has lots of stuff about linux (who woulda thought

), you can find downloads there or books/magazines that will have a linux distro on it

**SFR** · 12-20-2004, 09:38 PM

..you can download these for free off mirror sites (use google)

or you can buy a set of cd's for any distros for under $5.

some will run right from the cd without installing a think and others will need a new partition.

Oh and here are a few linux flavors (distributions):

Mandrakelinux, Fedora, SUSE, Debian, MEPIS, KNOPPIX, Slackware, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Damn Small, FreeBSD, Xandros Yoper PCLinuxOS Vine Red Hat SLAX KANOTIX Gnoppix Vector Turbolinux Arch Linspire Feather Vidalinux Aurox Lycoris Libranet SAM PuppyDevil Lormalinux Buffalo Conectiva GeeXboX Yellow Dog Onebase Kurumin Ark Progeny IPCop OpenBSD AGNULA White Box Hakin9 LiveCD Router Sun JDS Mandows DragonFly Navyn OS Knoppix STD MoviX Overclockix Morphix ClarkConnect Flonix CRUX Specifix ROCK LFS cAos Astaro Linux4all Source Mage QiLinux Peanut Berry ADIOS tinysofa Quantian AUSTRUMI SystemRescue College SmoothWall Lineox INSERT LinuxConsole Adamantix FreeSBIE Co-Create ASPLinux dyne:bolic CCux Sentry Firewall PHLAK Trustix Sorcerer KnoppiXMAME clusterKNOPPIX Cobind Bonzai FIRE EvilEntity UHU-Linux NetBSD Lunar ByzantineOS Bayanihan K12LTSP Guadalinex
