RE: How to get linux?

	I hope everyone will need it also someday!

	Most common, yes -- at the US.  Europe has much SuSe also.

	But recommended... you will get as many different recommendations as
there are Linuxers in the world!

	I personally recommend the Debian distribution.  It can be
downloaded
from http://www.debian.org./; this site also contains a list of mirrors,
including -- if I remember well -- one Israeli mirror.  Also in the site
a list of Debian CD vendors.

	RedHat is the most common, and easier for standard installs on
standard hardware.  Debian is more flexible, and has a more robust
package manager, but hasn't such beautiful screens.

	The maintainer of the Israeli Debian mirror was subscribed to the
list... I forget his name now.  Hello, are you there?  Anyone else
knows where to find Debian CDs?

	Anyway, from today to Thursday I will have access to a CD writer,
so I could copy you my Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 Official CD for the i386
(binaries only).
