Nothing to stop you getting it off the web and installing it. Kudzu allowed me to demonstrate the power of Linux to a friend who'd just sold me a new graphics card. We booted up in Linux first, kudzu found the card, drivers installed with minimum fuss, everything up and running by the time we got into X. In Windows, it was all this "Windows has found new hardware and is detecting the drivers for it ... Oh dear, Windows hasn't found the drivers, so it will give you a grainy screen while you search the web for the drivers ... To install these drivers, you need to restart your computer, we don't know why, but we think it's character-forming."
