Best honest place to buy FC4 on dvd or cd

What does Fedora Forum recommend as a good source
for FC4 on dvd or cd... minimal shipping, pretested for
glitches, installable. LiveCD not necessary.

I've seen the ones included with off-the-shelf magazines
and such. Would prefer something reliable.

Totally free. FC4 is FC4, no matter where you get it from. As long as it is FC4, not FC4 test 2 or the like, one's just as reliable and tested as another.
As for "honesty..." FC4 has no such limitations on it. You're not breaking any laws - or even any ethical codes - by downloading it free.

don't misunderstand me. I know fc4 is free.

But I want to know the best place to buy the dvd or cd and know that
the dvd is not glitched up. In other words: it's tested in a machine
before they send it to me.

I have limtied bandwidth and I asked very nicely and member on the board let me send him some cds and he d/led and burnt them for me. Costed me 6 stamps. Probably overkill on postage but it got the package there and back.

I got the DVD for both FC3 and FC4 when I ordered the Fedora Core Unleashed book for each OS. I ordered from BooksaMillion got the member price.

I haven't had any trouble with the discs that come with Magazines. It's kinda the point to getting the mags at the book store. I hardly ever get a book or mag that doesnt have a cd or dvd.
