Please note that in the spirit of the community and all that, a lot of
us "wealthy" westerners do spend a considerable amount of money shipping
totally free copies of Fedora around the world. If he or anyone wants a
copy but cannot download it, #fedora on irc.freenode.net is a good place
to find friendly people to help and every Linux forum I've ever been to
has had a sticky thread offering free copies of Linux mailed anywhere in
the world.

Getting Linux is not a problem if you utilise the community. It's one of
the reasons Linux is such a great thing to be part of.
