Re: Linux distributions

[Vikram Kumar <vkumar@example.com>]

Hi,

If you don't need the extra stuff that you get from buying a real distro CD, you can always get various FTP Versions from Magazines. (CDs which come with Magazines rather)
The only problem is that they tend to give you Japanese Distros, but if you don't mind, they should be okay.

Look for "Linux Magazine" "Linux Japan" "Nikkei Linux" etc. etc.
They are usually cost about 1400 yen.

Cheers
Vik
