I would like one of the free linux operating systems for my old computer but i have a really slow connection so i can’t download it without it taking a few days. Is there anyway i can order it somewhere and it still be free? Thanks.

    You can request a free CD from Edubuntu, Ubuntu, or Kubuntu, but they take like 4 weeks to deliver.
    If you want Solaris you they will be delivered in 2-5 Days in the U.S.

    Go to your local mega-bookstore and check for Linux publications in the MAGAZINE section. There are several European mags (Linux Format and Linux Magazine=Linux Pro Magazine in the US) and there are some US-specific mags as well, and they have DVDs with the mags. Problem, you need a dvd reader to use them. Linux Pro Magazine put out an Ubuntu Special Edition just this month, with DVD. Linux Format has a 6 flavor *buntu DVD this month. You might be intersted in the Xubuntu version.
