Re: How to download a free Linux?
To start, go to www.debian.org and read the installation section. It explains what the packages are for and how to install them. It also explains setting up a machine from scratch with no OS on it. The basic path is to grab a set of boot disks, install these to have a base system and then use the network to install the packages from an ftp site. Unless you have a fast connection it would be worth your time to buy a CD. cheapbytes.com and lsl.com both have extremely low priced Debian CD's. I paid four dollars US for mine.

If you are installing on a 386 (or greater) CPU, go to ftp.debian.org in the /pub/debian/dists/bo/disks-i386 directory and read install.bat or install.html. You will also need several disk images from that directory which are to be copied to floppies using rawrite (also in that directory). Install.txt will give you the step-by-step for making the floppies and starting the installation process. This will give you a very basic system. You can then add additional software packages by ftp or several other methods using the dselect tool. The above is for the stable 1.3.1 version of Debian. Version 2.0 will be released very soon. If you want to install that version instead of 1.3.1, go to /pub/debian/dists/frozen/main/disks-i386/current and follow the same procedure as above. Version 2.0 is still changing almost daily and occasionally there will be a few problems with the installation. A 1.3.1 version can be (fairly) easily upgraded to version 2.0, as well. Further information can be found on the www.debian.org web site. In addition to ftp.debian.org, there are a large number of mirror sites. These are listed in README.mirrors in the /pub/Debian directory on ftp.debian.org. Version 1.3.1 is also available on CD-ROM quite inexpensively from numerous vendors, such as www.cheapbytes.com, www.lsl.com, www.linuxmall.com, etc. I hope this helps you.

How to download a free Linux?
Dear Sir/Madam: I would like to know how can I download a free copy of your Linux software. I tried to find a site to download or ftp the files. But I only saw different files/package names. I seem can not locate a point from where I can download or ftp Linux software as a whole. Could you help me? Have a great week.
