If you have access to
another computer network such as CompuServe or Prodigy, there may be a
means to download the Linux software from these sources. In addition, many
bulletin board (BBS) systems carry Linux software. A list of Linux BBS
sites is given in Appendix D.
Not all Linux distributions are available
from these computer networks, however-many of them, especially the
various CD-ROM distributions, are only available via mail order.
