I went to a mirror download site for "Knoppix" (sp?) which sounded like a good place for a ''newbie" to begin an acquaintance with Linux. However, a download would run 57 hours (!) on my non-enhanced modem connection. Is there some other way to acquire this CD?

You can order it, but there is a cost for the CD & shipping.

Or you could go to your magazine stand and find the curren issue of Linux User which as a version of SUSIE 9.1 that will run from the CD that comes with the magazine without installing and will allow you to play around with it much like Knoppix.

Thanks to you both!
