There’s a lot of you who get copies of Linux from downloading them. I was thinking that there might be some who don’t have fast internet access and might be getting them from alternative venues. It’s still interesting to see what the stats are, more or less. :)

I think that if there were Linux distros available in bookstores and computer shops I would have gotten copies there. But it’s not the case here where I am. :( I suppose that because more people download, shop owners don’t bother with putting Linux distros in stock. Oh well. That means I must keep my computer running all the time just so i could have a copy of Linux distros ne?
