I'm a netsurfer, and as such a citizen of the world!

In addition to being able to download it from numerous FTP sites worldwide,
Softlanding used to distribute Linux on floppies.  This was about three
years ago, when I first started using Linux.  At the time, Linux occupied
about 30 floppies, and it cost about $100 to order them.  Today, there
are more floppies than that, and I don't know if Softlanding distributes
SLS this way anymore.  You might check out a FAQ from one of the FTP sites
that distributes SLS.

I am assuming that you do not have a CD-ROM, but if you know someone
who has a CD-ROM then perhaps you could make floppies from the CD.
The InfoMagic Linux Developer's Reource CD I just bought claims to
allow you to do this.  I doubt that anyone is giving away that many
floppies for free.

The other things was what they missed out. Like, I saw Linux was on the
CD I and thought "cool, I bet there is a big article on how to install
it and stuff like that, should get a few more people interested". Nope,
not a thing, not even a mention of it in the 32bit section of the mag
where they *do* talk about Linux from time to time. Talking about screwing
up!

I guess they just don't have a clue.

: Like the guy said above, version 2, as in version 2.0.

Yes. What *were* PC World thinking of?  I bought the magazine
purely because it seemed like a good opportunity to upgrade
a few things I'd been missing - new libraries etc.
But the PC World CD had kernel 1.0.9 or something ancient like
that. Shame.
