This appendix lists a number of the distributions of Linux which are available via anonymous FTP, from BBS systems, and via mail order.
This appendix is far from complete; here, we only list the most popular releases of Linux. A more extensive list of distributions and services is available from sunsite.unc.edu in
/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Distribution-HOWTOIn fact, if you're looking for a more up-to-date version of this list, you should look there. I admit that several popular distributions are missing from this appendix. In the future this appendix will be expanded to include all of the information from the Distribution-HOWTO.
In each of the following entries, my own comments (in italics) are followed by the information from the distributors themselves. You may safely disregard anything I say.
