And, if you don't mind spending many hours downloading if you're limited to a dial-up connection. ;-)
Not long ago, I paid $25 to WalMart for Mandrake 8.1 Standard Edition with a printed manual. I've done this several times for different versions.
The DVD has much, much more than just the Mandrake distro - it includes articles from Linuxworld.com over the past couple of years.
And, there's the printed magazine. I was just pointing out what I think is a good deal. I'm not associated with the magazine in any other way than as a purchaser.
Cheers, Tom

i was under the belief/[knowledge] that you could obtain Mandrake, Redhat, Gentoo, or other linuxes for free anyway if you didnt mind not getting the tech support or product cds and manuals.. hmm.. sounds like a more cost effective plan to me

I just purchased the Premier 2003 Vol. 1 Issue 1 of LinuxWorld Magazine at my local Krogers. It ran $9.99 US, but included their Linux Resource DVD with a claimed value of $198. The DVD contains what appears to be a full install of Mandrake Linux version 9.1 with all the RPMs! That alone is worth more than the price of the magazine, IMHO. Just thought I'd pass this along for those looking for an inexpensive distro without the need to download. :)
