But if you got a decent internet connection. downloading is actually quite easy.

i never did it because i didnt want to have the hassle so i always bought it in store.

after trying the download with 9.0, i wont be going back to buy em anymore. pointless to pay for 9, then have them come out with 9.1 and have to buy again only to have 9.2 come out.

For downloading it, you just download a small ISO, burn it to a CD. boot with the CD and it installs just like it were on a CD, except its downloading the files as it goes.

Speaking of Best Buy, I have not looked yet to see if they even sell it here in Canada in Best Buy where I am. So maybe if they don't have it, I'll do the hassle of downloading it and burning it and such instead.

They got a list of FTP servers and Mirror FTP servers to download from, i just clicked on each ftp and timed it to which gave me the fastest responce then used that one to install it from.


[edit] have you used linux before or would this be the first time? because if your just learning it, your not going to need the pro anyway.

Ok so maybe there will be a fast mirror after abit of looking.

I was prefering Pro I guess because members at another forum were saying to get PRO for varius reasons, too tired to remember what they were at moment. Ya know If paying end's up being the only easy way to get PRO, then it would be expensive for me to try and see if it would even work heh.

Oh great I hijacked this thread ...
