Get Linux on CD-R Cheaply Last Update: January 20, 2004 To make it easy and cheap to start with Linux, PLUG will burn any downloadable Linux distro to a CD-R. Our list is below. Unless said otherwise, distros are on one disc. We've marked which ones are new additions to our library. Also,we have some older versions. Email us and ask us if you need one.

Members of PLUG get a reduced price of $4 per CD-R up to $20 maximum for any distribution as well as a free distribution they wish. If all these choices seem confusing, follow the links to the respective distributions above, check a website that has distro reviews like DistroWatch, or ask us. They're roasted fresh for you by request and you can pick them up at one of our regular meetings. Or we'll mail the CD-Rs to you for $1 extra per CD-R to the total to cover our mailing expenses (within Canada). If you're in the US, add $2 (in Canadian funds) per CD-R. International orders, email to get exact shipping cost. If you have any problems with the CD-Rs not functioning, return them within 30 days for replacement. EMail the President if you have questions. Otherwise, just send payment and we'll ship the CD-Rs. We're just a non-profit, so expect a 3-4 weeks for shipping (within Canada). Payment is by cheque or money order in Canadian funds made out to the Peterborough Linux User Group.
