[LUAU] Downloading Linux.

[Christopher Banal]

Max,

	If you want to download suse and put it on a cd the easiest thing 
to do would probably be to download the evaluation cd iso image and burn 
that to a cd. It has more then enough packages included in the 
distribution and if you need any others you can go and download them. The 
main distribution is much too large to download the whole thing, and the 
evaluation version isn't really evaluation its just got less stuff on it.
	If you want RedHat you can just grab the whole directory. RedHat 
5.2 should fit on one cd.
	If you want Debian you can download iso cd images. I think there 
are two of them for the current distribution. ftp://cdimage.debian.org or 
something like that..
