OR you could always support Geoffery Bennett at Netcraft in South
Australia. He will send it to you COD. He could also supply you with a
very nice MS Office look alike called Applixware for about $100 with
spreadsheet, wordprocessor, presentation package etc.

Also Glen Tesla at www.lsl.com.au for less than $10 (Trilinux gives you
three versions of Linux) or overseas will send it to you
(www.cheapbytes.com, www.lsl.com). You can get the Linux Tool box (the
tool box contains several versions of Linux and some archive files)
around town (eg the software shop in the mall _ Metromedia is it?) for
about $30.

The Linux CD contains heaps of software - the full installation of Red
Hat 5.1 is over 600 Mb from memory.

Of course you could pop along to HUMBUG and some nice person will
probably help you install it
