Use these sites to connect to
forums and download documentation about many Linux distributions. Here are some examples:
DistroWatch (www.distrowatch.com)??”The first place I go to find Linux distributions
is DistroWatch.com. Go to the Major Distributions link to read about the top Linux distributions
(most of which are included with this book). Links will take you to download
sites, forums, home pages, and other sites related to each distribution.
Linux Help (www.linuxhelp.net)??”Select the ISO images link from this site??™s home
page, and you can find download links to ISO images for many of the most popular
Linux distributions.
If you don??™t want to download and burn the CDs yourself, there are plenty of links on those sites
from places willing to sell you Linux CDs or DVDs. Distribution prices are often only a little bit
higher than the cost of the media and shipping. If you really like a particular Linux distribution, it??™s
a good idea to purchase it directly from the organization that makes it. That can ensure the health
of the distribution into the future.
Books such as Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Bible from Wiley Publishing can also be a
good way to get a Linux distribution. Finding up-to-date documentation can be difficult when
you have nothing but a CD to start out with.
