Yes, you can still download it for free. A full distribution is fairly
large; it's a lot more convenient to get it on cdrom. Two of the more
popular distributions within our group are Redhat and DEbian. If you want
to download the whole thing, try looking on ftp.cdrom.com. Redhat can be
found in /pub/linux/redhat/redhat-5.2, and Debian in /pub/linux/debian.
A good place for cheap cdroms is http://www.cheapbytes.com; I believe you
can get a Redhat cdrom for $2 there.
