Make sure that you buy the full install DVDs not just the Live CDs.

That's news to me! Please tell me where can I find these "full install
DVDs" or how can I discern a full install disc from a partial? I surely
am a babe in the woods concerning Linux.

I've used http://www.linuxcentral.com in the days before I had broadband.
They have everything at reasonable prices. The 64 bit version of CentOS
5.1 is $10 as is Ubuntu 7.04.

Do you have a friend with broadband? The cheapest way to get the DVDs is
to download the ISOs and burn the DVDs.
