No, no evaluation copy.  The real thing is *FREE*.

You can try to ftp it from one of the sunsite mirrors
here in .au, but it's big and I found the connections
kept dropping out.  Probably modem problems my end, but
still means it would take ages to d/l a distribution.

I got mine on CD from Laserbaud.  www.laserbaud.com.au
It took them ages to send a catalog out, and that put me
off a bit.  I ordered a CD drive, Sound card, speakers and
Linux CDs and got them 3 days later (I faxed the order on a
Sunday).

I went for the Linux Developer's 10-CD Kit for $39.00. plus 
postage. I got sunsite archives, RedHat, Slackware TSX-11 and more.

The above is not a advertisement, although it may read a lot like one.
I don't work for laserbaud, they didn't send me dollars to post the
above (but I will accept anything they might decide to send my way).

I just dealt with them recently and liked the service.
