Fedora for Free (or very cheap)

[Nohman]

I'm a student and I'm just about completely broke at the moment. My CD/DVD Burner on my laptop has been F'ed for ages.

I need Fedora 7, preferably for under $10 (including shipping). Can anyone recommend a place? Or tell me exactly how to get a free DVD?

I know this is annoying-- I usually buy + donate a bit to distros (along with bug reporting, about the only way I can help open source)-- but I'm really in hard times at the moment and I've only got July to get this all set up.

Thanks.

That's all I could find with a quick search. Or...you could use solaris/opensolaris, I got some free dvds from them.

I'll definitely get into OpenSolaris at one point (just to try it out), but I just want a standard distro for the moment. I've already looked up the FreeMedia thing, but I don't really understand how it works and it states that they have given out all DVDs for the month of June.... Thanks for the suggestions though.

Update:
In case anyone is in a similar fix, I just found this store: http://www.frozentech.com/
Got 4 Distros for about $12... hopefully everything will be good quality...

And Ubuntu.

And I already have the Feisty Fawn CD.

I might be able to drop some CDs in the mail for people, within reason.

Yeah - download the images and find someone who can put them on some sort of optical storage media.
