You need to buy nothing, although most people find a book helpful - I have
a Practical Guide to Linux ('cos I didn't want a CD). If you have a quick
net connection, then you can get the rescue disk, drivers disk, and the
base system disks by ftp off a mirror (see the website for these) - I'd
recommend using the debian/hamm/ set, instead of bo.
You can pick and chose other packages and install them with nfs. I suggest
deciding the sort of things you want to do first, otherwise the list of
packages may be daunting ;)
HTH,
