Greetings To GTALUG,
I am starting to order the parts for building a new
desktop PC to run debian Linux as primary operating system. Replacing an ancient
Dell desktop PC with MS Windows XP.

I'm looking for a source for full set of
physical debian Linux (LXDE) installation DVDs (NOT a live install, as I
understand that Linux does not yet support live install with
UEFI).
I need the installation DVDs because I use
a very slow telephone-grade dial-up line modem for my Internet connection,
so a Linux installation via network is not feasible. (I plan to try to keep
using the dial-up line with the new debian Linux PC, at least for the first
while. GTALUG advice put me on to the idea of using a USB dial-up modem with
Linux.)
Found a U.S.A.-side vendor www.shoplinuxonline.org but am
concerned about getting caught in snags with payment / collection of Canadian
customs duties, that may be collected by courier delivering to the Canadian
address from U.S.A

Does anyone know of a Canadian-side online
seller of debian Linux (LXDE) DVD installation sets ??
I could potentially beg use of a friend's Windows
10 setup on Bell Fibe, and download the debian Linux LXDE) DVD image files and
burn the DVDs myself, but I prefer to avoid the hassle and probable
mistakes.
Any thoughts from GTALUG members, on this piddling
but potentially messy detail of getting a full set of debian Linux (LXDE)
install DVDs, greatly appreciated !!
Best Regards,
Steve
