While this is not a mailinglist for discussing Linux, I feel that the
above "you need a CD burner to download/install linux" statement is
so blatantly wrong that I can't keep my big trap shut ;-)

Both the Debian and Redhat (and probably most of the others, but I
don't have first-hand experiences with those) distributions allow
installations from a variety of medias, from CDs over FTP to a local
linux/dos partition.

AFAIK, you do not need a CD burner to install ANY linux distribution;
although many offer free ISO images for download so you can choose
that option if you want to.
