Re: Where to get LINUX for home?
You don't have to buy the distro if you have a CD-burner and broadband (Dial-up will take ages) You can download images from the web and burn them. The downside is no support, but with "home/personal" versions you only get email support anyway and most places (like itrc) is a great way to get [better] help.
Just go to

Re: Where to get LINUX for home?
There are (at least here in Italy) a lot of magazines that every month publish the CDs of each new Linux distribution (Red Hat, Suse, Mandrake, Debian, etc... FreeBSD, too). It's easy, cheap (5-6 USD) and fast. Usually I update so my linux home machine.
Cheers

Re: Where to get LINUX for home?
http://www.redhat.com/software/linux/technical/packages.html
The Linux kernel and all the GNU software that comes with it is open source, so you don't have to worry about the license. The main stipulation is that you post the source code for any changes to make to it. Most of us just load it and run it and never touch the source code so it isn't an issue. The license is the GPL or GNU public license. Here is a link to the GPL posted at the Red Hat site:
http://www.redhat.com/licenses/gpl.html
The 'distro' mentioned previously is a slang name for 'distribution'. Red Hat, Mandrake, etc. each is a distribution. They are all using the same [pretty much I guess] kernel, but they bundle different software packages and tools with it to make a 'distribution'.

Re: Where to get LINUX for home?
if you want to build your system from zero, then have a look at the gentoo distro.
