If you don't have Internet or BBS access, many Linux distributions are
available via mail order on diskette,
tape, or CD-ROM. Appendix <A HREF="node234.html#appvendornum">B</A> lists a number of these
distributors. Many of them accept credit cards as well as international
orders, so if you're not in the United States or Canada you still should be
able to obtain Linux in this way.
<P>
Linux is free software, although distributors are allowed by the GPL to
charge a fee for it. Therefore, ordering Linux via mail order might
cost you between US$30 and US$150, depending on the distribution.
However, if you know someone who has already purchased or downloaded a
release of Linux, you are free to borrow or copy their software
for your own use. Linux distributors are not allowed to restrict the
license or redistribution of the software in any way. If you are thinking
about installing an entire lab of machines with Linux, for
example, you only need to purchase a single copy of one of the distributions,
which can be used to install all of the machines.
