most dists of linux can be downloaded at ftp.linux.com

you can get them from the individual distro sites as well.

We like to go to linuxiso.org so we can burn CDs from ISO images.

My favourite: http://iso.linuxquestions.org/

My first distro (mandrake 9.1) was from linuxiso.org .

Thanks for input guys.Found linux for sale and a free cd but comes with pages and pages of survey answers and who knows what else.One hour of research and a big nothing.Mabey I can find it in a computer store or somewhere.It sucks everyone says its free .Maby its buried somewhere on some obscure site requiring 2 or 3 hours wading through bullshit that has lots of stuff for sale and sayig they have free linux to draw people in.Thanks again for trying.

XavierP and I are right... going over to lqiso.org and linuxiso.org is free, fast and probably the place you will download it from.

freeeee.... as in free beer
and freedom of speech of course

Hey, I had to find linuxiso.org on my own, without LQ, and without help whatsoever, only from good old google.

Linuxiso is a great site and was where I downloaded most of my distros until I found other sites - usually the ftp mirror of the distro site.

If you don't want to go through Linuxiso or LQiso, just go to the distro site and follow the links from there.

Linux isos are really not hard to find.

You will not slander this place...

I spent a week formatting windows, and spent two days looking for linux and downloading the first CD of mandrake. I tried it, and like it so much I formatted the whole system, downloaded the remaining two disks, and installed my system again.

Latrucino, you, sir, are a n00b, are is trying to flame this place because you are not able to find the download button...

This is the url you are looking for:
http://linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=29

Download the "Mandrake - Install CD 1". Burn it, install it. And download the others if you like it, if you don't, I don't wanna ear it.

Directly to the download button. Enjoy.

End Of *Thread*

Latrucino - Linux is completely free (apart from the cost of download, the cost a blank cds and your time to do the burning). Most members here have never paid for a distro. If you can only find distros that require you to pay money, well, you are not looking hard enough.

In it's current incarnation, Red Hat needs to be paid for. Try Fedora, it's available at no cost and is the test bed for Red Hat - this means that it is always up to date and bleeding edge.

Alternatively, find a different distro - there are more than a hundred individual distros out there.

Your attitude, quite frankly, is appalling.

latrucino,

you're behaviour is disgusting, if you are going to talk like that, we have no time for you either.

As Xavier Said, RH is not free it has a 30 day trial, if you bothered to look at the site you should know this, RH is outdated anyways, they have moved onto fedora

D/L it here:

https://www.redhat.com/apps/download/

Look under the Fedora project heading on the site,

Go in peace,

Jake

Thanks jacook,finally got somewhere with your link.Sorry about my ranting.So much spam and deception on the net and so hard to get anywhere without hours of searching.I should have cooled down before venting.I will edit or delete those posts if I can.Looks like I gotta get a cd burner and some more memory so its gonna cost anyway. Thanks .
