Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.  The live CD Linux distributions I
have seen offered require the download of about a 700 MB CD image, which
I can't do because I use a dial-up connection; I don't know anyone who
has a broadband connection.  The only Linux distribution I have seen
in computer stores is Fedora.  Maybe I can find a place that will sell me
a CD which it can then mail to me.

Thank you for your help.
