Without an internet connection, free is basically out of the question. For $25 - $100 you can pick up a linux or FreeBSD distribution. Better yet, find someone with a DSL/Cable modem and have them download and burn you a copy of one of the above. If you desperately need to run in a windows environment, look up cygwin.
Sometimes you can find a copy of linux in one of the CD magazines like Maximum PC or in a computer manual (Using Linux from Que Corp. came with 3 versions).
