mmm, now thats why we use Linux :-). But ... surely even a cheap
computer can be had for practically nothing. Check out your local
schools and see if they have any old hardware. Make them an offer.
Any mates with a fast connection who would burn you an iso?
Any LUG in your area? There will probably be someone there with a spare
Sarge CD.
Keep an eye and an ear out when you are out and about, people are often
thinking of upgrading their gear -- offer to take the old one off their
hands.
My laptop -- $12.00 with pcmcia modem card, dodgy cd, floppy drive --
broken. Writing this message on it.
My desktop -- $60.00 (could of got it for less but I didn't want to rob
the school :-))
And just by keeping an eye/ear out.
