   Other possibilities would be to copy it from someone else (is there a   
   Linux Users Group near you?), or have a friend download it for you   
   (could even be a far-away friend who mails it to you), or download it   
   using a friend's computer (doesn't have to be a Linux system, as long as   
   they have high-speed Internet).  One last possibility would be to buy it   
   -- there are places that will the downloaded version for a few dollars   
   per DVD.  Some of them advertise on DistroWatch and elsewhere.   
      
   I'm sure regardless of your skill level, you'll be welcomed in Mageia   
   groups.  I think the original poster was referring to recent refugees   
   from Windows complaining that something in Linux doesn't work the way it   
   did in Windows... but then, why should it? :-)
