Try your local bookstores, quite often the various Linux mags have cds with the basic, (downloadable) versions of distros on them. Dunno what they'd cost there, I pay about 14.95 US for the British mag Linux Format which comes with a DVD full of goodies and some nice articles....

what distribution is he sending you?
depending on your state I could send you an Ubuntu Linux CD set - you can get them for free form the ubuntu website - but be prepared ot wait a few months for them to arrive!

FYI - I'm in Adelaide
