Linux Installation by Gospel367(op): 6:40am On Sep 16, 2014

I want to install a flavour of linux on an old laptop and I have decided to go for linux mint 13 xfce but the problem is that the size of the iso image is too large (up to 820mb) and i doubt any of nigerian network will be fast enough to download it and even if it fast, i dont have cash now to subscribe for a plan. So I want to know whether it is possible to get these my choice of linux flavour that is already burned into a cd or dvd at a minimal cost or from someone who already used it or does not need it anymore or from someone who is kind enough to help a brother in need....thanks

Go to fedora website and request for cd /dvd of their latest operating system software.Tthey give out free every month all you have to do is fill out a form and you can either request for a cd or dvd in either 32bit (x86) or 64bit (x64).
