- Insert text about Purchased Media.
+ Just because we are discussing purchased media, does not mean one needs to purchase
+ the media. It is just a reference that covers purchase or prepared media that you
+ the user does not need to download. The purchased media can come from numerous
+ sources, one option is your local Linux Users Group or LUG as they are known in
+ the community. A quick search on <ulink url="http://google.com">Google</ulink>
+ will usually reveal a multitude of groups. These groups typically are more than
+ willing to provide a set of &FC; disks at little or no cost. Another option
+ would be your local Book Store, several publishers produce books about the latest
+ release of &FC; that are very informative and typically includes installation
+ media as part of the purchase. These books are are well written and include loads
+ of information about the &FC; operating system. The ultimate choice of
+ which media you go is up to you the user and what you wish to do to get the Fedora
+ Core operating system.
