The files are initially being seeded from the UK, and download speeds may be restrictive at first - hopefully before long, it is anticipated that more seeders will join in, and the response times will improve drastically!

PLEASE be responsible - if your bit torrent client is firewalled, meaning you can only leech and not reseed, please consider just downloading the ISO instead, direct from http://blueonyx.it or a mirror!

Obtaining, Trying and Installing Linux

You can purchase Linux CD's from the internet if you have a slow connection, have trouble downloading your fave distro or dont want to mess about burning install CD's yourself.

Buy Linux CD's

Note that buying a CD does not mean that you are supporting that particular distribution, as the proceeds will likely go to the vendor who creates the CDs for their materials and labour. If you want to support a distribution financially, visit their website and look to see if there is a donate / merchandise store link. =)

However, you might want to reconsider downloading the distribution as you will get a more upto date revision, and you may find that some flavours of linux e.g. Ubuntu, Slax and Gentoo for starters allow you to run or install linux from a USB memory stick.

Other flavours may even allow you to download linux via bittorrent, such as BlueOnyx. You may wish to try several flavours before you select a particular one, as for example BlueOnyx is a great Server appliance distribution, but people who want to use linux on a single machine may well find that a Desktop edition is more tailored to their needs, e.g. Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Suse
