Hello Everyone :p)
I would like to know, where I can buy a cheap (cheap meaning under $5.00) Mandrake and/or Red Hat - Complete Distro.
Including Source Code, Installation CD and a Supplementary CD.
Also, do I get a manual or anything w/ it?
Also, I have this question in mind for a quite long time: Why does mandrakelinux.com sell it's cds for $37.00 and other sites (non-mandrake/non-red hat) sell for under $10.00?

hi john, if you really have a fast net connection, you can download the .iso files of the mandrake cds from their site for free! get a friend or somebody to burn it into a cd with with just the cost of a blank cd and writing cost, there is no need to buy the original cds directly from mandrake or so, it all ultimately is the same

Linux is free (free as in "free of speech") so anyone can download it and give it to friends 100% legaly.
Just try Red Hat. You can also buy a book for about $34.99 (including Red Hat Linux).
