Linux Distributions Not on the DVD or CD
Not all of the Linux distributions featured in this book are included on the DVD or CD. Some of
these did not encourage free redistribution of their products, while others were simply too large to
include in their entirety and were not available on a single install CD or bootable live CD.
The following Linux distributions described in the book are not on the CD or DVD. The link after
each distribution??™s name indicates the Internet site where you can find out how to purchase or
otherwise obtain it.
 Yellow Dog Linux (www.terrasoftsolutions.com/store)
 Linspire (www.linspire.com/products_linspire_whatis.php)
 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (www.redhat.com/rhel/)
Some of these distributions have downloadable versions available on the Internet. I recommend
that you try a Linux distribution site such as DistroWatch.com (www.distrowatch.com) to see
if there is a free version of any of these distributions to try out.
If you decide to download or otherwise obtain ISO images of a Linux distribution, the following
section describes how to burn those images to a physical CD.
